East Ramapo interim superintendent outlines new instructional and student-support hires
Summary
Interim Superintendent Anna Rolusko announced new academic directors, instructional coordinators, expanded counseling and multilingual staff as East Ramapo opens the 2025–26 school year; no formal board actions were recorded.
Anna Rolusko, interim superintendent of the East Ramapo Central School District, used opening remarks for the 2025–26 school year to announce a series of staffing and program changes intended to strengthen instruction and student supports across the district. “We have new directors to lead our ELA, math, social studies, and science departments,” Rolusko said, adding that the district has hired instructional coordinators in literacy and STEM and placed school counselors in every elementary school with counseling teams in secondary schools.
The announcements place personnel and instructional support at the center of the district’s start-of-year priorities. Rolusko said the district has created a coordinator of culture and climate and is “building our multilingual education department to best support our growing English language learners across the district.” She also said new bilingual teachers have joined the district and more hires are planned.
District leaders described personnel services as another focus. Rolusko said the district is “continuing to strengthen our personnel services department” and noted new leadership in special education: a new director and an executive director of special education. The remarks were presented as status updates from district leadership, not as motions or policy votes.
The district did not provide counts, names, or budgetary figures in the remarks. Rolusko’s comments did not include timelines or formal implementation steps for the announced hires, and no board motions or votes accompanied the statements. Questions about specific staff hires, collective-bargaining impacts, budget allocations, or start dates were not addressed in the remarks.
Why it matters: staffing changes and added instructional-coordinator roles typically affect classroom supports, professional development for teachers, and services for multilingual learners and students with disabilities. The district’s summary indicated an intent to expand supports but left details — including exact head counts, funding sources and timelines — unspecified.
District officials, parents or reporters seeking specific names, budget figures, hire dates or formal approval steps should follow up with the superintendent’s office or human-resources staff for documentation and any required board agenda items.
