Superintendent highlights Radio City performance and celebrates Tappan Zee boys soccer title
Summary
Superintendent’s report celebrated Tappan Zee High School’s boys soccer Section 1 championship and a student honored as Section 1 player of the year; the choir also performed at Radio City Music Hall and the district previewed upcoming budget workshops after winter break.
The superintendent opened the meeting’s report by welcoming members of the Tappan Zee High School boys soccer team and congratulating them on winning the 2024 Section 1 championship — a first in school history for the program. The superintendent noted senior Brady Jacobs was named Section 1 player of the year and had 104 career goals, described in the record as making him Rockland County's all-time leading goal scorer.
A coach and district representatives presented certificates to players and staff, and the superintendent acknowledged coaching staff and the athletic trainer, Jess Laffey, for their roles during the season. The transcript includes multiple coach and board remarks praising the team and coaches.
The superintendent also reported district music highlights: a Tappan Zee High School chorale and concert-choir ensemble of roughly 30 students performed at Radio City Music Hall in the Sounds of Christmas program; the choral director, Dr. Russell Wagner, composed an original arrangement for the performance. The superintendent reminded the board of the upcoming Tappan Zee High School winter concert, scheduled for the coming Thursday at 7 p.m. in the transcript.
In the same report the superintendent previewed the district’s budget process timeline: after winter break the district will run a series of central-office presentations and budget workshops with school leaders and administrators, beginning at the January meeting; Miss Espinal (district staff referenced in the transcript) will be reaching out for board feedback to inform those workshops.
What happens next: The recognitions were ceremonial. Budget workshops and central-office presentations will proceed as described; Miss Espinal was identified as the staff member who will solicit board feedback ahead of the January meetings. The transcript does not provide specific dates beyond the general timing (after winter break and at the January meeting).
