The Levittown Board of Education called a special meeting to order on Friday, July 22 to terminate a teacher at Division Avenue High School.

The motion was made and unanimously approved by the four board members present at the meeting.

Assistant Superintendent of Administration Victor Longaro later confirmed that the employee terminated was Kyle Sabo, a history teacher.

"We can't discuss a personnel issue publicly," Longaro said. "We are prohibited by law to do so. An instructional employee was terminated effective Aug. 23. That is the earliest by law that person could be terminated. There is a procedure that has to be followed."

Sabo, 25, was arrested on June 22 and was charged with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual acts and third-degree rape. According to Nassau County Police, at various times and in separate incidents between April 2003 and June 2004, Sabo is accused of engaging in improper sexual activity with two students of the school, a male and a female.

Sabo pleaded not guilty at his arraignment.

A 1998 DAHS graduate, Sabo began working at the school in September 2002 and quickly became involved in a variety of school activities.

The district was made aware of the allegations involving a junior and senior student on June 15.

At a previous special meeting called to order by the board on June 23, it was resolved that "the Levittown Board of Education does, hereby, rescind its March 9, 2005 resolution, which was to grant tenure to Kyle Sabo on Sept. 1, 2005."
