Board Awards Tenure to Three


At its April meeting the Bronxville Board of Education awarded tenure to three faculty members: Dr. Victor Maxwell (HS English), Dr. Karine Schaefer (HS English), and Jillian Tomlin (K-12 Psychologist). Superintendent David Quattrone recommended the three based on outstanding performance during a three-year probationary process.  The review process includes three annual observations and supervisory conferences.  In addition, members of the public are invited to offer written comment on tenure candidates.  Quattrone commented that all the candidates had fulfilled their duties in an excellent manner and had also contributed positively to the broader school culture.  A fourth faculty member, Christina Rivera, earned tenure earlier in the year when she completed her probationary term.
