Marc D'Amico, Greenwich Public Schools' Chief Officer of K-12 Curriculum and Leadership, retired this week after a career that took him from assistant principal to the district's top curriculum post.
Superintendent Toni Jones announced the departure in a Nov. 6 note to families, first reported by Greenwich Free Press.
"We are grateful for his 32 years as an educator and we are excited for him as he will have more time to spend with his family and all that life brings after a full and wonderful career," Jones said in the email.
D'Amico joined Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) in January 2003 as assistant principal at Julian Curtiss School, where he co-led the development of the school's world language magnet theme. Julian Curtiss is one of four magnet elementary schools in the district, according to the GPS magnet schools page.
In fall 2005, he became principal of Glenville School. He held that role for 15 years, a stretch that included construction of the current Glenville building, completed in 2009 according to the school's website. Jones noted in her letter that many families knew D'Amico from his time leading Glenville "when the new school was built."
D'Amico left Glenville in 2020 and was appointed Director of Curriculum and Leadership K-8 that July. By the time of his retirement, his title had expanded to Chief Officer of K-12 Curriculum and Leadership.
In that role, D'Amico presented to the Board of Education on school improvement plans and textbook recommendations at a May 14 board retreat. All 15 GPS principals attended that session to speak about their schools.
No search for a replacement has been announced. The district has not said who, if anyone, is covering the position in the interim.
The next regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting is listed on the district's BoardDocs page. Families with questions can contact the superintendent's office through the GPS website.
