Carmel Central board accepts Dr. Elizabeth A. Kennedy’s resignation; trustees thank her for special‑education work
Summary
Late in the April 21 meeting the board added and approved a resolution accepting Dr. Elizabeth A. Kennedy’s resignation effective June 30, 2026; trustees publicly thanked her for work in special education.
The Carmel Central School District board on April 21 adopted a late‑filed resolution accepting the resignation of Dr. Elizabeth A. Kennedy effective the close of business on June 30, 2026.
The resignation resolution was added to the agenda during a motion to enter executive session. Trustees took a moment on the record to thank Dr. Kennedy for her service and noted marked strides in the district’s special‑education program during her tenure.
Why it matters: The resignation affects district leadership in special education and will require administrative follow‑up on succession and continuity of services. Trustees characterized the addition of the resolution as a response to "late‑breaking information" and said there was no impropriety in adding the item to the agenda.
Next steps: The board sent congratulations and noted Dr. Kennedy’s next steps in her career; executive session followed for legal advice and personnel, and the board said it would not return to open session that night.
