Royalton-Hartland
Students: A projected 1,547 students will attend the district’s three schools: elementary, middle and high school.
Budget: $23.4 million.
Teachers: 123.
Administrators: Eight.
Other staff: 83.
Key position changes: Kevin MacDonald will enter his first year as superintendent of schools, replacing Paul J. Bona, who retired last year. MacDonald comes from the Orleans Niagara Board of Cooperative Educational Services, where he had served as assistant superintendent. Michael Murphy will begin as high school principal to replace Kevin Shanley, who left to become superintendent of Cuba-Rushford.
Physical changes: None.
Curriculum changes: At the high school, all students will be participating in a pilot program called “Invisionit,” a self-assessment program designed to give students further insight into what career areas or college majors may be most appropriate for them. The district will continue to expand “Rachel’s Challenge” for grades five through 12, a program to teach kindness and compassion in the school, which is based on the life of Columbine shooting victim Rachel Scott.
