The administration at Newfield Central School District has seen some big changes in 2020. Amidst a school year that would have been challenging due to COVID-19 even in otherwise placid times, the district has embraced change. And according to the interim superintendent, the schools have thrived.Â
The district has cut $225,000 from its budget by eliminating positions and bringing in âpeople of a different pay scale,â according to Jenn Pawlewicz, president of the Newfield Board of Education.Â
âWe revamped our whole leadership team,â said Eric Hartz, who was appointed to temporarily fill the vacancy left by Cheryl Thomas, who officially resigned from the superintendent position on Oct. 30.Â
