On Tuesday night, the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders honored Verona’s superintendent of schools, Dr. Rui Dionisio, as the county’s superintendent of the year.
The award, which was announced earlier this summer, is given to a superintendent who exhibits leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and active participation in community involvement with an understanding of regional, national, and international issues.
Dr. Dionisio was presented with the award by Freeholder-at-Large Patricia Seybold (above, right). Verona’s current and past presidents of the Board of Eduction, Lisa Freschi and John Quattrocchi, were also there for the recognition.
