A star principal plans to end her 46-year career—leaving the Board of Ed another important vacancy to fill.
Lola Nathan (pictured), who has been principal of Davis Street School for a whopping 20 years, announced Monday she plans to retire on June 30.
Nathan was one of five administrators Monday who gave the district early warning that they plan to retire on June 30. The others are: Principal Denise Coles-Cross at Mauro/Sheridan Magnet School; John Vigliotti, a “principal on special assignment” who deals with districtwide athletics; and Leroy Williams and Andre Dupree at Hillhouse High School, who were “principals on special assignment” working under Principal Kermit Carolina.
They all took advantage of a program that awards a $10,000 bonus to administrators who give the district six months’ notice of their departure. The deadline to do so is the end of the year. (This is the last year of the $10,000 bonus; the new administrators contract drops that bonus to $7,500.)
In December, two other principals also announced their departure: Adult Education Principal Alicia Caraballo is retiring on June 30; and Edgewood School Principal Raeanne Reynolds left abruptly in December to take a job in Branford.
So the city now has four vacancies at principal jobs for the fall: Davis Street, Mauro/Sheriden, Adult Education and Edgewood School.
