WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. August 25, 2004: With the Athletic Director situation at White Plains High School unresolved at the present time, former Athletic Director, Mario Scarano continues to handle those duties on a consulting basis. WPCNR asked Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connors whether the Board of Education has made a decision on whether to rescind Mr. Scarano's retirement and perhaps bring him back.

Today, Mr. Connors indicated that the Board of Education has not made up its mind and will hold a dialogue with Mr. Scarano on his future.

WPCNR asked the results of Monday evening's Executive Session of the Board of Education when Mr. Scarano's future was reportedly going to be discussed. Connors said, "First of all it's not a resignation from Mario, it's a retirement. That (the retirement) still stands."

Asked if the Board was considering rescinding that retirment, Connors said, "I think the Board is looking at having some dialogue with Mr. Scarano. In terms of your question, his retirement was accepted and it stands."

WPCNR asked if Connors was ruling out the possibility you might rescind it, and the answer was, "It stands. I know the Board intends to have some dialogue with Mr. Scarano."

WPCNR asked what was expected to come out of that Scarano- Board of Education dialogue, Connors said he had "no further comment, but I know certainly Mario is going to express his desire to not retire."
