Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners honors Alicia Tobias as NJDOE Exemplary Educator

FREEHOLD, NJ - The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners recognized educator Alicia Tobias during its Dec. 11 Workshop Meeting for being named a 2025 Exemplary Educator by the New Jersey Department of Education.

A certificate was presented to Tobias by Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Superintendent of Schools, on behalf of the Board.

"Congratulations to Alicia for being named an Exemplary Educator by the New Jersey Department of Education," said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. "Growing up with a younger brother who had a learning disability, Alicia saw firsthand the impact that compassionate, individualized support can have on a child's life. Educators like Alicia truly change students' lives, and we are so thankful for the work she does every day."

"Alicia joined the Shore Center, a public out-of-district placement for students on the autism spectrum, in 2013," said Commissioner Anderson. "She has served in several roles and now as the Supervisor of Transition Services oversees Bridges, a Transition Hub that provides young adults with the independent living and community experiences needed to build skills for their post-21 world. We commend Alicia for this well-deserved recognition and wish her continued success in her future endeavors."
