Board honors longtime district employees and retirees
Summary
The board recognized retirees and long-serving staff — including Special Education director Dr. William Bushman, maintenance staff member Terry Meany, and multiple teachers and support staff — thanking them for decades of service.
The board paused its regular agenda to recognize a series of long-serving employees and retirees from across the district. Colleagues and administrators praised the retirees' years of service and personal impact on students and staff.
A speaker honoring Dr. William Bushman, the district's director of special education, said Bushman had been a "trust of authority, a source of clarity, and a steady and principled voice" and thanked him for strengthening the district's systems. "Doctor Bushman, you leave behind a lasting legacy of professionalism, compassion, and unwavering commitment," the speaker said.
Other retirees recognized included maintenance staff member Terry Meany (42 years of service), longtime educators John Squadritto (32 years), Lori McCarthy (23 years), Ed Curran (25 years), Corinne Lawson (28 years), Cindy Schuliner (nearly two decades in PPS), and several additional staffers. Speakers recounted anecdotes about mentorship, operational contributions and district leadership. Plaques and photos were presented where noted in the transcript.
