Help
us search for a new superintendent...and shape the future
Dear Parents and residents of the Scotia-Glenville school community,
As you may know, our superintendent of schools, Michael J. Marcelle, has
accepted a new position and will be leaving Scotia-Glenville in April.
Mr. Marcelle has led Scotia-Glenville for the past eight years. Now, we
are searching for the next superintendent to lead the district into the
future. We are working with Barbara Nagler, superintendent of the Capital
Region BOCES, to assist us with this search.
It is very important that we hear from the people who care the most about
the schools: you and your family.
We need your help. We would like to hear from you at two community meetings
scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 9, and Wednesday,
Feb. 16, at the Middle School cafeteria. Both sessions begin
at 7 p.m.
Please come to one of these meetings to express what qualifications you
would like the next superintendent of schools to possess.
If you are unable to attend one of these meetings, feel free to contact
a member of the Board of Education or e-mail your ideas to our Web site
at ScotiaGlenvilleSchools.org. There will also be opportunities for you
to participate in this process by serving on groups to interview the applicants.
It is our hope that if we all work together, we’ll be able to find
the best educational leader for our district.
Margaret Smith, president
