Please see the following letter from the Tuxedo Board of Education regarding the District Superintendent and George Grant Mason Principal, dated August 31.
Dear Tuxedo UFSD Families and Staff,
As many of you already know, our Superintendent was injured in an accident in the beginning of the summer and has been unable to return to the school. On Thursday night, 8/29/24 the Board of Education placed him on Family Medical Leave status until such time that he is able to return to work full time and be in the district daily during school hours. The District’s Assistant Superintendent, Jared Kahmar will assume the duties of the Superintendent until such time as the Board appoints an acting Superintendent.
As was previously communicated, George Grant Mason Elementary School Principal, Dr. Melissa Jean Paul, has announced that she is leaving the district. The Board has contracted with Dr. Michael Cogliano to serve as interim Principal. Many of our families may be familiar with him as he has served as GGM interim Principal in the past. He was highly regarded by the students, their families, the faculty and staff. The Board is pleased to welcome him back to Tuxedo.
The Board of Education wishes Superintendent White a speedy recovery and Dr. Jean Paul much success in her future endeavors.
Best regards,
Tuxedo Union Free School District Board of Education
