Board Reorganizes for 2013-14 School Year

At its annual Reorganization Meeting the Bronxville Board of Education re-elected David Brashear as President and named Denise Tormey as Vice President. Both terms are for one school year. The Board also approved various committee assignments, including the audit committee and the facilities advisory committee.

In other action the Board appointed three new teachers: Tanil Russo (MS mathematics), Kathryn Westerheim (Elementary), and Marina Fattore (Elementary music). They will join Heather Norman (Elementary librarian) who was appointed in June.

The Board authorized its architects, KG&D, to conduct a feasibility study for lighting Chambers Field.  When complete, the study will be presented to the Board with multiple opportunities for public commentary.  The Board emphasized that no decision to move forward with such a project has been made, and that any such proposal would require clear and careful guidelines for use.

In addition the Board re-authorized the District's Annual Professional Performance Review plan regarding teacher and principal evaluation. The plan continues the same processes agreed upon last year regarding the number of evaluations and the rating scales to be used.
