The Nyack school system is getting a new superintendent. His name is James Montesano. He is taking over after three years leading the Paramus school district. Believe it or not he has three brothers who are school superintendents in the New Jersey area. All the brothers went off to college not to follow in their father's footsteps and stay out of the education business. They all gravitated back to education.
Montesano will have his work cut out for him protecting the core curriculum and trying to cope with state aid cuts and taxpayers who have had it with high education taxes.
In April, the Nyack Board of Education unanimously agreed to hire Montesano following a nationwide search. Montesano said the superintendent salary cap that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie imposed on all school districts in the state was the main impetus for him to start exploring the idea of working elsewhere.
