In a unanimous 8-0 vote on Tuesday night, September 9, the Saugerties school board placed schools superintendent Daniel Erceg on paid administrative leave, effective immediately. Until then, it would be premature to speculate.”In the press release, Riozzi cautioned the public about speculation surrounding the school board’s decision. “We just felt that this was the right time to kind of ensure a fair and transparent finality to the investigation,” Riozzi said. I think it all goes back to ensuring that we’re doing an impartial internal investigation. On Tuesday evening, the school board voted to appoint deputy superintendent Gwendolyn Roraback as acting superintendent.
