Board honors district retirees, highlights long service and community ties
The Board of Education recognized a group of retiring employees and a retiring board member at its final meeting of the school year, listing their roles and years of service and inviting them forward for a group photograph and refreshments.

Board member (meeting speaker) identified multiple retirees and their service lengths during the ceremony: Valerie Bardounis, special education teacher, 34 years; Rory Becker, physical education teacher, 21 years; Kasia Messina/Conners, middle school teacher, 18 years; Anne Marie Festa, nurse, 22 years; Jacoba Smith, high school math teacher, 23 years; Katarina Lopiccolo, food service helper, 8 years; Robert (Bobby) Salzano, custodian and district facilities leader, 20 years; and Therese Smith, paraprofessional, 20 years. The speaker noted a correction during remarks for one retiree: Lisa Krakilici's years were misread and corrected to 16 years of service.

Board President Frank Milazzo and others praised the retirees' contributions to students and the community; Milazzo said the retiree cohort and a volunteer board member, Frank Milazzo (noting his own service earlier in remarks), together represented nearly 195 years of service to Marlboro Schools. The meeting included a group photograph and a reception.

A public commenter who identified himself as Ray addressed the meeting during the public comment period, praising Robert Salzano's long service and urging the community's gratitude. Ray said of Salzano: "On behalf of the faculty, staff, district, community, and more importantly, the students of this school district, I thank you for all your service." The public commenter added a personal endorsement of Salzano's contributions to after-hours events and district operations.

The board then recessed for refreshments and later adjourned the meeting.
