Plainview-Old Bethpage Welcomes 44 New Staff Members

PLAINVIEW, NEW YORK — The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District recently welcomed 40 new teachers and 4 administrators for the 2021-2022 school year. Throughout the day, new faculty members were joined by District administrators, department directors, teachers’ union and PTA leadership for orientation workshops focused on preparing the new staff for the new school year, as well as introducing them to District facilities.

“The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District is excited to welcome our new teachers and administrators for the 2021-2022 school year,” said Superintendent Dr. Mary O’Meara. “Many of these teachers were hired last year as part of our COVID-19 crisis response and benefitted from the support of our veteran staff and professional development making them extremely competitive in our hiring process for probationary positions. We have full confidence these teachers will continue to make a difference in the lives of our students, and we will enjoy watching them become part of our school community.”

The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District holds a staff orientation for new faculty every year as a vehicle to welcome new staff and engage both new and current staff in productive conversations regarding school curriculum.
