The Great Neck School Board of Education will appoint a new school superintendent at its March 30 meeting, the district announced in a statement Thursday.
The district did not identify the new superintendent but said “her start date will be July 15, 2015.”
Current school Superintendent Thomas Dolan announced his resignation in November effective July 31.
Board Vice President Larry Gross said the board would not comment beyond the information issued in the statement.
He also declined to identify the woman cited in statement or any details of her proposed contract.
The board’s meeting will be held at South High School, 341 Lakeville Road, according to the district’s website.
Dolan said he decided to retire after the 2014-15 school year because he is healthy enough to do so, and that he would like to teach at a university level again, as well as spend more time with his children and grandchildren.
Dolan became superintendent of the Great Neck public schools in July 2009, replacing former Superintendent of Schools Ronald Friedman. Dolan had worked as the superintendent of the Franklin Square Elementary School District since 2004.
He graduated from Hamilton College in 1978 with a bachelor of arts degree in history and psychology. He received a master of science degree from CUNY Queens College in 1983 and later his doctorate in education from Hofstra University.
The superintendent is paid $280,500 a year according to this year’s proposed school district budget. The budget for the 2014-2015 school year was for $214,067,850.
During the 2014-2015 school year, there were 6,399 registered students among the 10 schools in the district.
The schools in the district include Great Neck North High School, Great Neck South High School, the Village School, Great Neck North Middle School, Great Neck South Middle School, the Elizabeth Mellick Baker School, the John F. Kennedy School, Lakeville School, Saddle Rock School and Parkville School.
