Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Erica Cuomo as a mathematics teacher effective July 18, 2025, contingent on her appointment, and appointed her to a four-year probationary term as assistant principal effective July 21, 2025, with compensation of $141,637 (step 1, prorated); both actions were approved 5-0.
The Elwood Union Free School District Board of Education accepted the resignation of Erica Cuomo from her position as a mathematics teacher effective July 18, 2025, contingent on her appointment, and then appointed Cuomo to a four-year probationary term as assistant principal.
The resignation was accepted upon the superintendent's recommendation by motion (moved by Mrs. Weiss, seconded by Dr. Siddiqui) and approved 5-0. The subsequent appointment resolution states Cuomo holds a school building leader certificate and is appointed to an assistant principal tenure area probationary term effective July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2029, with compensation of $141,637 (step 1, prorated). The appointment motion was moved by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mrs. Weiss, and carried 5-0.
Board members offered congratulations to Cuomo during the public announcement. The appointment followed an executive session held earlier in the meeting, which the board said was for confidential discussion regarding the potential employment of a particular person.
Why it matters: The appointment fills an assistant principal role the board described as a leadership position requiring a school building leader certificate and establishes the contractual probationary term and salary that will govern the new assignment.
