Summary

The board accepted resignations and retirements of eight certified staff, including vice principal Mallory Emmons who was congratulated on an upcoming principalship in Portland School District; the board approved acceptance of the resignations during the June 10 meeting.

The Ansonia Board of Education on June 10 voted to accept eight certified staff resignations and retirements affecting a range of roles across the district.

Superintendent DiBacco asked the board to accept resignations or retirements from William Izzo (Middle School history), Thomas Kennedy (high school math), Paula McMellon (reading specialist), Jonah Paone (special education teacher at the Middle School), Emma Jabs (art teacher), Ryan Utzler (middle school business), Mallory Emmons (vice principal at Mead School) and Sherri Marquardt (Extended Day Programs). The board approved the motion to accept the resignations.

Superintendent DiBacco congratulated Mallory Emmons, present at the meeting, and noted she accepted a principal position in the Portland School District. Board members offered well wishes and acknowledged the service of members who are retiring.

Why this matters: the departures include instructional and administrative positions the district will need to replace ahead of the next school year. The board earlier granted the superintendent authority to hire certified staff during the summer, enabling the district to begin recruiting and filling vacancies promptly.
