A dozen educators from the Wantagh School District received tenure at the May 4 board of education meeting, a testament to their hard work over the past four years as well as their bright futures.
At a tenure reception ceremony, the board of education and central administration recognized a total of 15 teachers, including three who received tenure earlier in the school year. Superintendent John McNamara said tenure is a hard-earned designation, and the result of many observations, evaluations and conferences during their probationary period.
“This is a special night for them,” Mr. McNamara said. “We don’t just want good teachers here in Wantagh, we want outstanding teachers.”
Mr. McNamara, Assistant Superintendent Stephen Moran, Executive Director for Curriculum and Instruction Carol-Ann Winans and Director of Human Resources Dr. Stephanie Scolieri said a few words about each of the tenure recipients. Common traits among the newly-tenured educators are their enthusiasm and the strong connections they make with students.
The district congratulates:
