School super dead By Jotham Sederstrom The Brooklyn Papers Vincent Grippo, a life- long educator who over 35 years ascended as a teacher in Dyker Heights to a visionary, if at times embattled, District 20 superintendent, died last Saturday of a heart attack. He was 58. Grippo was regarded by fellow teachers and parents throughout Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights as instrumental in a movement to more fully embrace community groups in school programming. He died at his home on Staten Island. “When it came to education no one was more talent- ed, or more passionate about children,” said Carlo Scissura, president of the local community education council and a former vice president of School Board 20, in a eulogy at Grippo’s funeral on Staten Island Wednesday morning. Madeline Brennan, whose 44 years as principal of IS 201 in Dyker Heights is be- lieved to be the city’s longest such tenure at a public school, said she took Grippo under her wing when he was only 23 years old. Within a year, the Brooklyn-born teacher became dean of the school. “And then he was my boss,” said Brennan, who read a eulogy that drew tears from principals and PTA pres- idents from throughout the district. Debbie Stevens, who as a 12-year-old in 1964 was one of Grippo’s first pupils, said that four out of five of her children were taught in Dis- trict 20 schools. The Bay Ridge mother said that one reason she has remained in the district for so long is because of Grippo, who most recently worked as superintendent in Rockaway County, N.J.
