At their February 19 meeting, New Paltz School Board trustees appointed Dominick Profaci to replace Kathy Preston, who resigned suddenly prior to the February 5 meeting. Profaci, a former trustee, will serve until the school board election on May 19 when the highest vote-getter among candidates will be immediately seated in his stead.
Board members also accepted the resignation of district clerk Dusti Callo, who has served in that position for six years. Callo said that she has secured a similar position in the Garrison district, and while it’s a slightly longer commute, the job will allow her more contact with students — her face lit up visibly when describing the prospect.
