The Westport Board of Education tonight unanimously approved the appointment of Holly B. Hageman as assistant superintendent for personnel and general administration.
Principal of Irving A. Robbins Middle School in Farmington, Conn., since 2000, Hageman holds a B.S. from the University of Connecticut where she majored in biological sciences.
She also has a M.A. from Wesleyan University, a six-year degree in educational administration from the University of Connecticut, and will be awarded a Ph.D.next month from the University of Connecticut where she focused on school policy development and personnel practices.
Hageman formerly taught in North Haven, Conn., where she was named Teacher of the Year, as well as in Higganum, Conn., where she also was named Teacher of the Year.
Schools Superintendent Elliott Landon said she will take over her Westport position July 1 and will oversee recruitment, hiring and supervision of teachers
Didn’t Landon accept a hefty raise last year because he was doing the job of Dr. Brady (former Asst. Superintendent) in addition to his job? I recall he said he did not need an Asst. Superintendent and it would be cheaper to give him a raise. I�m sure he is going to give back part of his salary now that his workload is reduced. Maybe his excess salary could go to the $600,000.00 the Board of Ed. is requesting to be �restored� to the budget.
