Summary
The Middletown City School District board voted 6–3 on March 5 to conclude Superintendent Amy Cedon’s administrative leave and direct her to return to duty on March 9. The vote followed routine approvals and a brief public comment period in which a resident expressed frustration with prior actions.
The Middletown City School District board voted on March 5 to end the administrative leave of Superintendent Amy Cedon and directed her to return to work effective March 9.
The resolution was introduced and put to a roll-call vote after routine business; the motion carried 6–3. In the roll call recorded at the meeting, members voting yes were Mr. Estrada, Mr. Parino, Mr. Rhett, Miss Romero, Miss Tobias and Pastor Williams; members voting no were Dr. De Jesus, Mr. Moore and Mr. Freddy Williams.
The district noted Cedon had been on leave since September 2025 and that the action restores her duties effective March 9. The board did not vote on any additional personnel actions in open session related to the leave at the March 5 meeting.
During the public-comment period before the vote, a resident thanked the board for their work but said the community remains upset about the superintendent’s leave and urged that staff protections be put in place. The comment was part of a brief public-comment block allotted up to four minutes per speaker.
A separate board member urged transparency on legal and investigatory costs related to recent disputes and said they would request a public accounting of attorneys’ fees, investigation expenses and related salaries. The board did not take additional action on that request at the meeting.
The board adopted the resolution during the same agenda that included approvals of minutes and routine personnel and financial memoranda. The district posted that the minutes and other supporting materials would be available on the district website following the meeting.
Next procedural steps: the superintendent’s return date is set for March 9, 2026; the board did not announce any additional special meetings on this personnel matter at the March 5 session.
