REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Harper said good evening to the audience. I am going to start with something that is not pleasant for me. In the Board Book we see we are going to reluctantly accept the resignation of someone who I ve had the pleasure of working with for 9 years and has served the District very faithfully for over 12 years. One thing I can say about Mrs. Schwartz is she did everything in her power to fight for children. Some of the situations she is faced with are very difficult. Some of the children have extreme needs and she always fights for children to make sure they have everything possible to be educationally successful. She went above and beyond and continues to go above and beyond. It is very difficult for me to say these things. I would like to recognize a tremendous educator, outstanding person, someone who is dedicated and committed to this District, and was extremely loyal to me and loyal to this District. Someone I m proud to call a colleague and proud to call a friend Barbara Schwartz is retiring after 12 years in the District. Thank you for your service from the Board, the community and the children. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Mrs. Schwartz thanked everyone stating that everyone is always very supportive. Mr. Harper wished her well stating, Enjoy your retirement and enjoy Sophie. Mr. Harper said Mrs. Buchanan received telephone call on Wednesday, September 4 th, at 3:46 pm, from Commissioner King s office stating that the Commissioner, Regent Tilles and Regent Tische would like to come to visit the Alden Terrace School on Monday morning. The Commissioner was scheduled to visit the District on two prior occasions. (The day hurricane Sandy hit us and the day of the snowstorm.) Commissioner King discussed events happening in the District as well as in Education. They toured Alden Terrace School. He was interactive with the students. Regent Tilles said they were very impressed with the wonderful things happening in Alden Terrace School and the Elmont School District. He said there are Districts that could use some of the wonderful things we are doing and would we be willing to share some of the things that are happening in our District with other Districts that may need some support. Mr. Harper commended the Board, administrators, principals, teachers, nurses, custodial staff, clerical staff, teacher aides and transportation, stating everyone as a team is working tremendously hard to provide quality education for the students in this community and it was noticed yesterday.
