Marc D’Amico, principal at Glenville School, has been suspended with pay pending an investigation of what the district is terming “serious allegations.” Former Western Middle School Principal Don Strange has taken over for Mr. D’Amico on an interim basis.
Parents and Glenville School staff members were briefed about the suspension today and the district administration released a statement saying that the suspension was effective today and was taking place “without prejudice.” A letter was sent home today with all Glenville students and all Hamilton Avenue students assigned to the school stating that the suspension was in effect and saying Mr. Strange, who retired in 2006 after 19 years leading Western, “...Would provide ongoing support to Glenville School during this difficult time.”
Kim Eves, the district’s director of communications, said the district would not comment on the matter and would not discuss what triggered the suspension.
Glenville School PTA co-president Celia Fernandez spoke to the Post today and said the organization “respected the right to due process” and wanted to see where the investigation led before commenting on it.....

Marc D'Amico has been suspended as principal of Glenville School while school officials conduct "an investigation of serious allegations," according to a letter sent home to parents today.
Officials would not comment on the investigation or D'Amico's suspension, calling it a "personnel matter" involving human resource officials, district spokeswoman Kim Eves said. She declined to say whether other town agencies are involved.
"I can't say anything else," she said. "It's an H.R. issue."
The suspension caught parents and town officials by surprise.
"This is a really critical time in the school year," said First Selectman Peter Tesei upon learning the news.
