Organisciak, who announced earlier this month that he would retire at the end of the 2013-14 school year, announced on Friday he will now be leaving in October due to health-related issues.
In a letter to the district and community, he said:
Last week I announced to the Board of Education my intention to retire by June 30, 2014. At that time, I left open the possibility that my retirement might come sooner based on certain circumstances.
It is with deep regret therefore that I inform you that I will in fact retire on October 25, 2013 as recent health related developments have created a major challenge. After conferring with my family and my medical team, I feel it is necessary to accelerate my retirement.
I am grateful to the New Rochelle Community for the opportunity to have served as your Superintendent. During these seven years, with your support, I feel we have made great progress, despite formidable obstacles, in changing the landscape of education in our community.
As I prepare to move on, I have advised the Board that I will be available to them and my colleagues as much as possible during the transition period. It has been an honor and pleasure to be your Superintendent, and I wish you all the very best. You and the children of New Rochelle deserve nothing less.
A replacement has yet to be named by the district.
