The Bayport Blue Point School District will announce the newly hired school superitndent on its website at noon today and will hold a meet-and-greet for residents and taxpayers on Tuesday evening.

Board of Education President James March said a special board meeting will take place October 2 at 8 p.m. in the high school cafeteria for the purpose of officially appointing the new school leader. There will be a reception for the community and media after the announcement where attendees will be able to ask questions "on an informal basis," said March.

"I am expecting an official announcement to be posted to our website today providing background, salary and process," March told Patch Monday morning in an email.
