Carmel CSD board grants tenure to multiple educators at April recognition event
Summary
The board recognized and voted to grant tenure to multiple Carmel Central School District staff—including principals, teachers, social workers and teaching assistants—during a tenure reception held at Carmel High School.
The Carmel Central School District Board of Education on April 21 held a tenure recognition program and approved a series of tenure resolutions for district staff across schools.
Superintendent (title used in the meeting) opened the program describing tenure as a recognition of sustained professional practice. The board approved tenure resolutions for Brian Piaza (principal, Carmel High School, effective July 1, 2026), Monica Bardi (special education), Holly Penna Holmes (school social work), Marbel/Marenna Perez (ESL), Jacquellyn Giovanon (teaching assistant), Maria Greo (teaching assistant), Victoria Massia (elementary teacher) and Cassandra Greenfield (teaching assistant), among others. Presenters highlighted recipients’ classroom contributions and invited recipients and families for photos.
Why it matters: Tenure recognitions are procedural votes that also serve as public acknowledgment of experienced staff the district intends to retain. Trustees and administrators used the program to emphasize continuity and student supports across multiple schools.
Procedural details: Each tenure resolution was moved and seconded; the meeting recorded affirmative votes for each resolution. The superintendent and school principals offered remarks about individual recipients’ impact. The event included a student performance and concluded with group photos of recipients.
