Hackensack Schools Superintendent Heading to N.Y. District
Schools Superintendent Edward Kliszus, who will retire from his city job today, has been hired to lead a school district in New York state.
Kliszus will begin his new position at Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District Friday, and will earn $217,150 in annual salary during the three-year contract, according to a letter on the school district’s website. Kliszus opted to not participate in the health insurance plan or other benefit plans offered by the New York district, according to the letter.
The superintendent submitted his retirement notice to the Hackensack school board in February, and said at the time that his decision was spurred by the state’s proposed salary and pension reforms for public workers. In Hackensack, Kliszus earned about $205,000 a year, and his 34-year education career entitles him to a monthly pension benefit of $10,263.59, a spokesman for the state Treasury Department said in March.
The Port Chester Board of Education interviewed five of the 26 candidates who submitted resumes for the superintendent position and selected three finalists to meet parents, school district employees and other members of the community, according to the letter. Feedback from the community forum, held on May 24, helped board members prepare for final interviews with each finalist, the letter says. Board members also conducted a site visit to Hackensack.
