Duanesburg
Board of Education
selects new superintendent |
|
September 6, 2007 -- After a thorough and extensive search
for a new superintendent of schools, the Duanesburg Board of
Education selected Christine Crowley for the position.
I am thrilled to join the Duanesburg community as
superintendent of schools," said Crowley. I was very impressed
with the school board, administrators, faculty, parents and
community members that I met during the interview process.
Crowley is expected to begin her duties at the Duanesburg
Central School District on or about October 1.
Christine has excellent credentials, a great personality and
leadership style, said Board President Raymond Hawes. We
expect that she will make our district even better than it is
today, and that she will continue the growth that was made under
the leadership of Dr. Mark Villanti over the past few years.
The other two finalists were very capable and strong leaders.
Hawes added. I have no doubt that they will each become
superintendents in other school districts soon.
Crowley joins Duanesburg with more than 24 years of education
experience. She has served as principal of Northeastern Clinton
Central High School in Champlain, New York for the past six
years. She also served as the district's Director of Special
Education for one year. Crowley began her career teaching
mathematics at St. Agnes School and also taught at Paul Smith's
College, two correctional institutions and Albany High School.
Crowley holds a master's degree in educational studies from
Plattsburgh State University, and a bachelor's degree in
mathematics from the State University of New York at Potsdam.
She is a graduate of the Superintendent's Development Program at
the State University of New York at Oswego.
The Board of Education, with the assistance of the Capital
Region BOCES, began the search process in March after former
superintendent Dr. Mark Villanti announced his resignation. The
board received more than 20 applications from which three
finalists were selected for interviews with the Board of
Education as well as four committees made up of parents,
community members, staff and administrators. |
