School Board Recognition Week

The October 26th School Board Meeting was the culminating event for the selection of new Superintendent of Schools--a position awarded to Mr. Paul Doyle. It was also marked by a number of efforts by the school community to thank the district's school board members for their "dedication to the students of the district," as part of the New York State School Board Recognition Week (October 25-29).

Board members enjoyed readings from students in Rita Maloney's class from Riley Avenue, received a number of meals, pins, plaques, flowers, cards, banners and gifts from the various community groups, schools and unions throughout the district, a special presentation by the RHS Steppers, and a hearty round of applause from those in attendance. The PTO provided dinner before the board meeting and the Roanoke Avenue School hosted a breakfast for the school board members.


Prior to the October 26th meeting, school board members participated in a number of reading, speaking and social engagements throughout the district during which students, teachers and administrators thanked them for their service.

"We can't thank these volunteers enough for the difficult job they do for this district," concluded Interim Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Laria, who awarded each of the members a plaque and a sincere thank you for their service to the district.

Thank you!
