Statement from Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Sidney A. Freund:

“Paul Burke has resigned his employment as a teacher and coach following his recent incarcerationsubsequent to a second conviction for driving while intoxicated. Given the procedural requirementsfor contract termination, we determined that it was appropriate under the circumstances to accept hisresignation, effective June 30, 2010. By resolving this matter through a voluntary resignation now, wecan move forward immediately to post Mr. Burke's teaching position as well as his lacrosse coachingposition. Mr. Burke has paid a significant price for his actions, losing both his job and his freedom.We hope and trust that Mr. Burke has learned from this difficult situation, and we wish him the best ashe moves on with his life.”
