Garden City Schools Business Chief Retiring

The Garden City school district will welcome a new chief of business this summer.

Albert Chase, assistant superintendent for business and finance, will officially retire June 30 after serving the district for seven years. Dana DiCapua, former assistant superintendent for business for the Wantagh school district, will officially replace Chase July 1.

Garden City's board of education approved DiCapua's hiring at the May 21 meeting at a salary of $182,500. Wantagh's school board will formally accept DiCapua’s resignation at its scheduled June 13 meeting.

DiCapua served as Wantagh’s top business official since the 2008/2009 school year. She was granted tenure in May 2011.
