The board of education meeting on Tuesday, May 26, was cause for celebration. Twenty-one teachers were granted tenure in the Chappaqua Central School District, along with seven teaching assistants, two guidance counselors and one administrator. The list of the newly tenured appears below.
Next week’s board of education meeting, at 8:15 on Tuesday, June 2, in the Academic Commons of the high school promises to be more somber. The board will honor and bid a fond farewell to retiring teachers and administrators, as well as announce the lay-offs necessitated by the 2009-2010 budget. The list of retiring personnel appears below.
