The Board of Education of the Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns has announced that Mr. Christopher Borsari is the finalist candidate for the Superintendent’s position.

Mr. Borsari is currently the Principal of Byram Hills High School, a position he has held for the past eight years. Prior to this position, he was appointed as Principal of the Sleepy Hollow Middle School, when the District decided to separate the Middle School from the High School. As a result, Mr. Borsari was instrumental in the success of this transition. He led the process of the creation of the identity, philosophy and mission of the Middle School.

Mr. Borsari also has held positions in Byram Hills Central School District: as an Assistant Principal, Assistant to the Athletic Director and a Middle School Teacher.

Mr. Borsari received his Masters Degree in Education from Manhattanville College and his Bachelor’s Degree in History from the University of Virginia. He is also a member of numerous professional organizations, in which he has served in many different leadership roles.

The Board of Education began the search for a new Superintendent in August 2015, when it engaged the services of an executive search firm. Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates (HYA), to assist in the recruitment of candidates. The HYA consulting team met with district stakeholders, obtaining input about the District, including what characteristics were important in the next District Superintendent. HYA also developed an online survey that was completed by school and community members. All this information was compiled and analyzed to create a leadership profile which was used during the recruitment, interview and selection process by both HYA and the Board of Education.

The final step in the appointment process will include introductory meetings with key leaders from various community and District stakeholders, after which there will be an opportunity for participants to provide input on the selection to the leadership of the Board of Education.

The Board expects to take formal action on the appointment of Mr. Borsari as the Superintendent of Schools in March. His service with the Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns will begin on July 1, 2016.
