Middle School Letter Parent/Guardian Letter (sent home on October 2, 2019)
Dear Parents/Guardians:
During the summer, Mr. Farley advised me of his need for a medical procedure in the fall. In anticipation of Mr. Farley’s medical leave of absence. district administrators had discussions regarding the best course of action to ensure the educational program continues at the same level of quality. To that end, Mr. Anthony Marturano is being recommended for Board approval as Acting Middle School Principal effective October 15th. It is expected Mr. Farley’s medical leave will be four to six weeks. Mr. Marturano served as the Assistant Middle School Principal for five years before transferring to the position of Assistant High School Principal in September 2018. Mr. Doug Kelley is being recommended for Board approval as Interim Assistant High School Principal during this period. Mr. Kelley, a retired school superintendent, has held several Ichabod Crane administrative positions in the past several years. The Board of Education will consider both appointments at its October 8th meeting.
We all wish Mr. Farley a speedy recovery and speedy return to the Middle School.
Sincerely,
Lee A. Bordick
Interim Superintendent
Ichabod Crane Central School District
