2 Assistant Superintendents Appointed for Parsippany Schools

Parsippany schools will head into the calendar year with an overhauled administration after it appointed two new members to high-ranking roles.

The district announced the appointment of Nancy Gigante, Ed.D., as assistant superintendent and chief academic officer. Gigante is the district’s current director of curriculum. Her new position, with a salary of $168,096, will take effect Aug. 1.

Also appointed to a new position is David Corso, who will take on the role of assistant superintendent for business and chief finance and operations officer. Corso’s job will take effect on Nov. 1 with an annual salary of $162,500.

The changes end a month that saw the district’s new superintendent begin his duties on July 1. Scott Rixford was hired as the district’s chief in March.

“We could not be more pleased that Dr. Gigante and Mr. Corso were recommended by Superintendent Rixford to serve in their respective leadership positions,” the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education said in a joint statement. “They are both accomplished educators, and each one possesses an impressive track record for obtaining the highest levels of student achievement.”
