WALLINGFORD, CT — The Wallingford Board of Education appointed Danielle Bellizzi as the district's new Superintendent of Schools at a special meeting on Wednesday.
Bellizzi succeeds Salvatore Menzo, who announced in April that he was leaving the district after 12 years to become the new Superintendent of Goodwin University Magnet Schools on July 1. Bellizzi's appointment is effective immediately.
Bellizzi, a Berlin resident, has served as Wallingford's Assistant Superintendent for Personnel for the past three years. She began her educational career teaching grades 1 and 5 at Mary E. Griswold Elementary School in Berlin. In 2003, her family relocated to Gaithersburg, Maryland, where she served for five years as an elementary reading interventionist and consultant at Highland Elementary School in Silver Spring, according to a news release.
