Levittown educator Dr. Francesco Ianni has accepted a position as assistant superintendent in the Harborfields School District.

Ianni, Division Avenue High School principal, will be succeeded by Division Assistant Principal Joan Lorellii, the school board recently announced.

Ianni was named principal at Division in 2010. Levittown Schools Superintendent Dr. James Grossane said the district is saddened to see Ianni leave, but wishes him all the best.

“We understand that his new position as assistant superintendent in the Harborfields Public Schools is an advancement for him,” Grossane said.

“He has been a true leader at Division Avenue High School and his many contributions to the school and district will leave a lasting impression for years to come,” Grossane added. “His scholarship, leadership and devotion to our students will be greatly missed.”

Taking over for Ianni is Lorelli, the current assistant principal at Division and former assistant principal at MacArthur High School. 

“Mrs. Lorelli is an experienced administrator in our district,” Grossane said.  “She has been a key member of Dr. Ianni’s leadership team.  We are confident that Mrs. Lorelli will not only continue many of the fine initiatives already in place, but that she will spearhead many more programs that will bring the students of Division Avenue HS to even greater achievements.”
