WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. August 13, 2004: The Superintendent of Schools for the White Plains City School District told WPCNR today that longtime Athletic Director Mario Scarano would not be coming back to that position as had been thought. Timothy Connors yesterday confirmed to WPCNR that advertisements for an Athletic Director for the school district and another position for a Health Coordinator had been placed, as announced at the August Board of Education Meeting, but Mr. Scarano would not be considered for the AD post.

Connors said that the new Principal, Ivan Toper, would have input on the selection of the new Athletic Director for the high school and rest of the district. In the meantime, Connors said, Mr. Scarano is a paid consultant handling A. D. duties at the high school.
WPCNR asked if the posting of the advertisements were a formality allowing Mr. Scarano to reapply and accept the position. Connors said Mr. Scarano would not be considered for the position. His exact words were, "That's not going to happen."
Connors said candidates would be reviewed and that the new Principal Mr. Toper would have a say in the interview process to select a new director.
