Over the past 14 months, Daiana Amieiro has brought both heart and expertise to her role as supervisor of Elementary Special Education — shaping the position into one deeply grounded in student-centered, culturally responsive leadership.
The Clarkstown Central School District is where students become well-rounded, critical thinkers who are able to communicate effectively and become responsible, ethical, contributing members of a global society. As life-long learners, students will be able to use their respective talents and skills to collaborate, innovate and positively change their community and the world.
