Paul Manzo Appointed As Interim East Islip Superintendent

EAST ISLIP, NY — The East Islip School District has a new superintendent, for the interim.

Paul Manzo was been appointed as the East Islip School District’s interim superintendent of schools, effective Feb. 3, replacing the retired John Dolan.

Manzo has served as East Islip’s assistant superintendent for instruction and personnel since 2016, the district said. He had previously spent 14 years with the Sachem Central School District, where he served as an assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, assistant superintendent for administration and building administrator.

“It is my pleasure to begin to serve East Islip as superintendent of schools,” Manzo said. “I am humbled and grateful to the board of education for this opportunity. It is an honor to be able to continue to support our administrators and staff as we provide our students with a quality education."

Dolan served as superintendent since 2015. He was honored last month by the board of education, who revealed a student center would be named after him.

"John Dolan, our former superintendent, started some great work both in and out of our buildings," said Manzo. "I look forward to the future and continuing this work and our journey on the pathway to excellence.”
