Raymond Albano will be stepping down on Feb. 8, he announced Monday night. Another interim superintendent could be on the horizon if a permanent replacement can not be found quickly.
Ray Albano's tenure as interim school's chief in Glen Rock will be ending after about eight months. Appointed to the district in late April after the sudden resignation of former Superintendent David Verducci, Albano will serve his last day on Feb. 8. Albano is leaving for family reasons, he told the board. Albano was not immediately available for comment Tuesday afternoon. "I thought he did a great job in Glen Rock," former school board president Rona McNabola told Patch. Albano has been an interim superintendent at a number of districts for more than a decade.

District recognized its top seven educators from the respective schools, as well as outgoing superintendent David Verducci.
The Glen Rock Board of Education last week recognized its top teachers for the 2011-2012 school year, presenting the group of seven with plaques. Byrd Elementary School special education teacher Colleen Orsini took home honors as the 2011-2012 district teacher of the year. Superintendent David Verducci, set to retire on July 1, received commendations and congratulations from the board at its Monday meeting.

Albano, the interim school chief of Hillsdale, takes over for David Verducci, who announced his retirement in March.
The Glen Rock Board of Education on Monday voted to appoint Raymond Albano as interim superintendent of schools after David Verducci announced his early retirement from the district in March. Albano will serve from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. He will be paid $605 per day for three or four days each week, Business Administrator Michael Rinderknecht said. "I've known Ray since I started in this business, and I've found the man to be one of the most ethical, decent human beings I've ever met," Verducci said. The school board voted unanimously in favor of hiring Albano. Albano is certainly familiar with the title of interim superintendent. Since retiring as the top schools chief of Old Tappan in 1995, he's been an interim superintendent 16 …
