John Doherty Email & Phone Number

Over the last 38 years, I have worked in the Town of Reading to educate the children of Reading and beyond. I began my career as a High School Biology Teacher at the Austin Preparatory School in Reading. I then moved to the Reading Public Schools where over the years I served in the role of middle school science teacher, middle school science department chair, middle school principal, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, and superintendent of schools. During my 38 years in education, I was a soccer, basketball, and baseball coach, and science olympiad coach. I retired on June 30, 2021 after thoroughly enjoying my time and experiences. In November, 2021, I decided to begin the next chapter in my career and join the School Liability Expert Group in Lambertsville, New Jersey as a school expert witness. This position works with attorneys all over the country and Canada on school liability cases ranging from Federal Title IX, Title IX, Section 1983 cases to state and local liability cases involving negligence. I have worked for both plaintiffs and school districts on these cases, providing my expert knowledge and research as an educator.
