Mineola’s Hampton Street School has tapped a new interim principal a month after its former head resigned.
The Mineola Board of Education approved Diane Anderson, a former assistant principal at Northside Elementary School in Farmingdale, for the position on Sept. 3.
She replaces Devra Small, who left Hampton Street in August for an administrative position in the North Shore School District.
Anderson, who has more than 40 years’ experience in education, will lead the school at least until the spring, when the district will start looking for a permanent principal.
She lives in Mineola and has a master’s degree from Hofstra University in Hempstead.
