Mrs. Ferrer Retires — Quietly

As Fernando Ferrer was gearing up for his run for mayor last spring, his wife’s long career as an educator was winding down. Aramina Ferrer retired as PS 46’s principal in June after 20-plus years at the helm.

Ferrer has kept her retirement quiet. A secretary at the North Fordham school did not correct a Norwood News reporter when she asked to speak with Principal Ferrer last week. The city media also continues to report that Ferrer is a city school principal.

Ferrer’s retirement was mentioned by Sonia Menendez, a local instructional superintendent, during last week’s community district education council meeting. “The transition is going smoothly,” she said. Iris Lim, an assistant principal, is filling Ferrer’s shoes

The school had chronically poor test scores in recent years but had a significant jump in statewide math and reading scores last year.
