At the May 6 meeting the Hendrick Hudson Board of Education publicly recognized more than 15 staff members who were awarded tenure.

Administrators introduced each recipient in turn, describing roles that included teaching assistants, classroom teachers, ENL staff, a school psychologist and other student-support positions. Speakers praised honorees for classroom dedication, collaboration with families and contributions to school events and programs. Several recipients were noted as district alumni or long-time contributors to student supports.
