I also don't think that Seaford has a problem with hiring women for jobs. Most of my teachers were women. In my time in the district i do recall Mrs. Portanova being the Principal of the Manor School. I believe she also had a woman as her AP. I also remember Mrs. Carari at the Middle School. and currently Mrs. Troisi at the Harbor School. Congratulations to Mr. Bersin. As a former student I can say with confidence that I believe he will do a wonderful job as principal.
