Michael Yamin
PROSPECT — The Region 16 Board of Education has given Superintendent of Schools Michael Yamin a new three-year contract.
“As a board, collectively, we’re enthusiastically glad he’s staying with us,” Vice Chairman Robert Hiscox said.
The school board hired Yamin, 52, in 2014 to lead the region, which is comprised of Beacon Falls and Prospect. He worked in the Waterbury school system, including as director of special services and pupil personnel and principal of Kennedy High School, before coming to Region 16.
His new contract runs from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024, though the deal includes language that allows him or the board to end it earlier.
