The board also accepted retirements announced at the meeting. Dr. Harrington identified Dean Martellucci (early learning center) and Rob Pittman (longtime teacher and union leader) as staff who will retire in the coming months; Janet Marks, who supports athletics, was also announced as retiring but will remain through the summer to assist with the athletic schedule.

The superintendent said official appointments and retirements will be processed through Human Resources.
