This fall will bring changes in the District 10 leadership, as district offices are re-opened with 32 new community superintendents responsible for evaluating the schools in their districts.
Yvonne Torres, who has overseen Districts 9 and 10 as the Region 1 superintendent since Irma Zardoya’s departure in 2006, was reportedly offered a position in Queens and is expected to leave the Bronx.
The larger regions will be dismantled, as the system continues to undergo massive structural changes.
District 10 Community Superintendent Sonia Menendez was asked to continue on in her position. Menendez has worked with area schools in many capacities, as a teacher and principal.
MS 399 is in the process of hiring a new principal to replace Yolanda Torres, who will take over as District 7’s Community Superintendent in the south Bronx. Torres was principal of MS 399 for five years and previously served as principal at MS 266.
Elena Papiloberios, currently a local instructional superintendent for high schools, will be superintendent of high schools for the Bronx, in conjunction with Joel DiBartolomeo, former leader for the network that includes Bronx High School of Science, the Roosevelt campus, and the Walton campus.
