Dennis Filippone was seriously injured in a recent automobile accident but is recovering and expects return to work after the new year, Interim Superintendent Richard Caldes said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s sore, he\u2019s banged up, and it\u2019s going to take a while for him to come back,\u201d said Caldes, but, \u201cHe\u2019s back to himself, laughing, making fun of himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Shorebeat was unable to obtain police reports on the accident late Thursday night, Caldes said Filippone was driving home from a Dragons bowling match when a car swerved and struck his vehicle head-on at about 40 m.p.h.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re lucky that things hit the way they did, and the airbag deployed,\u201d said Caldes. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky he\u2019s still with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnybody who knows Mr. Filippone knows how much he loves his school, his students and his faculty,\u201d said Board of Education President Sharon Cantillo.<\/p>\n<p>Caldes said Filippone will likely be able to return to work in January.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \"
