North Syracuse board to accept resignation of deputy superintendent and cites internal promotions
Summary
Board members announced an expected acceptance of Dr. Leahy’s resignation, praised his nearly three decades in education, and recognized Dr. Mike Brody’s readiness to step into the deputy superintendent role; the meeting also recorded routine personnel motions and an upcoming executive session on parental appeals.
Board members announced personnel developments, including an anticipated resignation and internal leadership transitions.
A board speaker read a statement about Dr. Leahy and said the board was expected to accept his resignation that evening, praising his nearly three decades in education and service as deputy superintendent. "I have immense pride and heartfelt gratitude for Dr. Leahy," the speaker said, noting Leahy’s focus on improving outcomes for students and building relationships across the district.
The board also recognized Dr. Mike Brody for his work as assistant superintendent for human resources and said Brody is prepared to assume the deputy superintendent role. The board described Brody’s background in school leadership and labor relations and said his reassigning to a higher leadership role reflected confidence in his ability to lead.
The meeting recorded routine personnel votes and approvals (minutes, personnel reports and support staff items). For example, a motion to accept the March 23 minutes (moved by Mark) passed with one abstention (the transcript does not identify the abstaining member by name). Several personnel reports and support-staff items were moved and approved by voice; the public transcript lists motions and affirmative calls but does not include full roll-call tallies for every item.
Before moving into executive session, the board congratulated Miranda, present at the meeting, on her appointment as associate principal at the junior high.
Finally, the board moved unanimously into executive session to review two parental appeals (with action to follow) and one personnel item (no action to follow).
