Northport-East Northport Appoints Assistant Superintendent For HR

NORTHPORT, NY — Anthony Davidson was appointed assistant superintendent for human resources of the Northport-East Northport School District, the district announced.

Davidson was chosen because of his "extensive experience in school district administration and commitment to supporting students and staff" following a long, competitive search, the district stated.

Davidson most recently served as superintendent of schools in the Lindenhurst School District, overseeing all district operations and educational programming. During his tenure, he worked with union leadership on various contract negotiations, refined the interview process to assure criterion-based determinations and provided training for all interview committees, amongst other responsibilities.

Davidson’s career includes roles as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in the Locust Valley Central School District and principal of Commack Middle School. Before that, he served as an assistant principal, chairperson of English language arts and English language arts teacher for the Commack School District. He also serves as an adjunct professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Davidson also received the Long Island BOCES Fred Podolski Leadership and Innovation award, the PTA Advocate-in-Action Award and Commack Middle School Teacher of the Year. He was formerly the president of the Suffolk County Middle Level Principals Association.

"Anthony will be a terrific addition to our team," said Superintendent of Schools Dave Moyer in a news release. "We anticipate his instructional expertise will translate well into the human
resources function and are confident that his talents and experiences will benefit both
students and staff."

Davidson received his bachelor’s degree in English from Hofstra University and his master’s degree in liberal studies from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is also a graduate of the NYSCOSS Future Superintendent Academy and the Long Island Aspiring District Leaders Program.

"Please welcome Mr. Davidson as he begins his tenure with the district on July 1," the district wrote.
