Elmsford asst. principal takes leave

February
22

The turmoil continues in Elmsford as parents mount plans to call for the resignation of Sandra Calvi Muscente, an assistant principal at Alexander Hamilton High School. Calvi was recently arrested for assault in Mahopac. Over the years, she has developed a reputation in Elmsford for being verbally abusive. If you’ve been following the comments in our forums, you know parents have strong feelings on both sides of this issue

Some Elmsford parents say the arrest vindicates their position that Calvi is unfit for her job, while others say she is being unfairly smeared. Here’s an update I posted on today’s announcement of Calvi’s leave of absence. We’ll be following this story closely in the coming days so please come back often.

ELMSFORD – A high school administrator recently arrested on assault charges has requested a leave of absence for an unspecified period of time.

Sandra Calvi Muscente, an assistant principal at Alexander Hamilton High School, was granted the leave and would not report back when schools re-open next week, Board of Education President James Henson said today.

Muscente, who uses the name Calvi professionally, did not say how long she would remain on leave, he said.

Muscente, who lives in Mahopac, was charged a week ago with two misdemeanor counts of third-degree assault after an altercation with two family members at Mahopac Falls Elementary School.

She resigned her position as a trustee on the Mahopac Board of Education on Wednesday and is due in Carmel Town Court on the charges Tuesday evening.
