The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District welcomed teachers back for the 2023-2024 school year on August 30th for Superintendent’s Conference Day. Colleagues and friends had the opportunity to greet each other after the summer break, and senior District administrators briefed the educators on major initiatives for the upcoming year.

During her opening remarks, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary O’Meara emphasized the impact that each staff member has on their students, and the important roles they play in their lives.

Additionally, Assistant Superintendent for Student Services and Safety, Mr. Christopher Donarummo, briefed staff on the District’s school population balancing plans, and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. James Bolen provided updates on teacher evaluation standards.

Finally, Board of Education President Debbie Bernstein, Plainview-Old Bethpage Congress of Teachers President Nina Melzer and PTA Council President Donna Lupia each offered welcoming remarks to the new and returning staff members.
