Henry Hudson board recognizes retirees, approves hires and unused sick-time payouts
Summary
The board recognized three retirees, approved a package of hires and transfers (including a Pre-K teacher coach at $90,000 and a guidance counselor at $82,035), and authorized unused sick-time payouts to two retirees totaling $17,100.
The Henry Hudson Regional PK-12 Board of Education recognized retirees and approved personnel actions at its July 16 meeting, including new hires, transfers and payout of unused sick time.
The board honored Betsy Broussard (AHES teacher, 32 years), James Filoso (AHES teacher, 27 years) and Barbara Prezpaldo (bus driver, 25 years). The board approved payment of unused sick time to Broussard (86 days at $100/day = $8,600) and Filoso (85 days at $100/day = $8,500), payable in June 2026 per the HHREA collective-bargaining agreement.
Personnel approvals included appointments pending criminal-history review where noted: Kayla Scalercio as full-time Pre-K (SPED) teacher; Tracey Graham as a full-time Pre-K Teacher Coach at $90,000 per year; and James DiLorenzo as a full-time school guidance counselor at $82,035. The board also approved voluntary teacher transfers, resignations, paternity leave requests and a list of extracurricular coach/advisor appointments for the 2025–26 school year.
Superintendent Dr. Tara Beams highlighted end-of-year activities and thanked staff for their work during ceremonies and transitions. Several hires and stipend/extra-duty assignments were approved under the superintendent’s and business administrator’s consent agendas.
Why it matters: personnel appointments determine staffing levels for classrooms, special-education supports and student services; retiree payouts and contractually required benefits are budgetary commitments.
What’s next: newly appointed staff are to begin work for the 2025–26 school year as noted in the motions; background checks remain pending where specified.
