Rugani Leaves Board After Nine Years

At the June meeting Rick Rugani completed nine years of service on the Bronxville Board of Education, three as its President. President Jim Hudson acknowledged his many contributions to the school system, especially his mentorship of new Board leaders. Rugani responded by thanking colleagues on the Board, students, teachers, parents, community members (including Thomas Wolff, who attends all meetings) and administrators.  He spoke of the continuing needs for good governance and the Board's sustained efforts to promote high quality education.  During his tenure Rugani played a key role in resolving ongoing construction litigation, recruiting a new Superintendent, several cycles of labor negotiations, and containing costs.
