Board Appoints Aaron Yamamoto as Chatham Middle School Principal; Consent Agenda Approved
Summary
The School District of the Chathams appointed Aaron Yamamoto as principal of Chatham Middle School and approved multiple consent agenda items by a 6–0 roll-call vote. Yamamoto thanked the board and cited reconfiguration priorities.
The School District of the Chathams board voted unanimously to approve a consent agenda that included personnel items and an addendum containing the appointment of Aaron Yamamoto as principal of Chatham Middle School.
The motion to approve agenda items A1–A25 and addendum items (noted in the transcript as including item 26) passed by roll call 6–0. Board members voting yes were Miss Ross, Miss Allen, Mister Delsandro, Mister Ryan, Miss Weber and Miss Ciccarelli.
Aaron Yamamoto, who previously served as supervisor of mathematics and earlier as a teacher at Chatham High School, addressed the board and said he is honored to lead the middle school during the reconfiguration. "This is for me a dream that I had when I very first started teaching 15 years ago, to become a principal," Yamamoto said.
Why it matters: The appointment places a district veteran in a leadership role as grade reconfiguration proceeds; the board singled out Yamamoto’s knowledge of district staff and his work supervising mathematics as qualifications for managing the August start.
Next steps: Yamamoto said he will begin work in advance of the August opening and the board will oversee implementation of the reconfiguration and staffing changes referenced elsewhere on the agenda.
