Levittown Schools Name Next Superintendent

LEVITTOWN, NY — The Levittown Board of Education has appointed Todd Winch, who is the current assistant superintendent for instruction, to be the district's next superintendent. He will be replacing Superintendent Dr. Tonie McDonald, who is retiring at the end of the current school year.

The board appointed Winch at its meeting on Nov. 4. He will officially take over as superintendent on July 5, 2022.

“We are fortunate to once again find an exceptional candidate with such a rich history in Levittown to lead our district into the future,” said Board President Peggy Marenghi. “We thank Dr. McDonald for her years of service and tireless efforts on the part of the students, staff and community of Levittown and look forward to working closely with Mr. Winch in his new role.”

In addition to serving as Levittown’s assistant superintendent since 2016, Winch has also been the director and assistant director of pupil services, and social studies chairperson. He began his educational career in 1995 as a social studies teacher at Division Avenue High School. Winch also worked for five years as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in the Plainedge School District.

“I would like to thank the board of education for its continued support and for the trust that’s been placed in me,” Winch said. “I am excited to continue the work we have been doing, meeting the challenges of the past few years, and charting a course for the years ahead. I appreciate the opportunity to continue making a difference in the lives of those in the Levittown school community. I look forward to working closely with Dr. McDonald to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.”

Winch holds a bachelor’s degree in history, a master’s degree in liberal studies and a school district administrator certificate from Stony Brook University.
