2026–27 Reorganizational Meeting
Superintendent of School and five Board of Education Trustees

 

The Great Neck Board of Education held its annual Reorganizational Meeting at the Phipps Administration Building on July 1. District Clerk Suzanne Mallozzi administered the oath of office for individuals who will serve in various roles for the 2026–27 school year.

The first actions of the meeting included swearing in new trustee Marisa Brandeis Kermanian and re-elected trustee Joanne Chan. Both were elected by the community in May to serve a three-year term on the Board.

The Board then voted unanimously to appoint Grant Toch and Steve Chen to serve as President and Vice President, respectively, for the 2026–27 school year. This will be Mr. Toch’s third year as President and Mr. Chen’s first year as Vice President of the Board.

Additionally, Dr. Kenneth R. Bossert took the oath of office to continue his duties as Superintendent of Schools, and Stacey Pedone was reappointed as District Treasurer. The Board approved the remainder of the agenda, which included the appointment of the assistant district clerk, deputy district treasurer, and professional service providers for the new school year.
