HYDE PARK – Melissa Lawson, Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Services in the Hyde Park Central School District (HPCSD), resigned during Thursday’s Board of Education meeting. Lawson is the district’s second-highest-paid employee, earning more than $218,000 per year.
Lawson, according to District Superintendent Pedro Roman, “has committed a tremendous amount of time and effort to the district,” and Roman credited her with many of the district’s accomplishments in the 17 years she has been with the district.
Lawson said her decision was not easy and did not stem from one issue or individual.
Her resignation, she said, “reflects a breakdown over time, involving all stakeholders, an erosion of trust, mutual respect, and collaboration that is essential to a healthy school community.”
