Royalton-Hartland will be searching for a new superintendent after the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership announced yesterday that Kevin MacDonald has been selected as their next superintendent. Here is the Partnership's official news release....
The Genesee Valley Educational Partnership Board has named Kevin MacDonald as the organization’s next District Superintendent, with a starting date of July 1, 2013, pending his appointment at the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership’s Board of Education meeting on March 27.
"I believe my career has prepared me well to serve as the District Superintendent for the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership. As the superintendent at Royalton-Hartland Central School District for the past four years, I experienced many of the same issues that face the GVEP component school districts - issues such as diminishing resources and student enrollments with increasing academic demands and state mandates. I will lead this BOCES and support the districts by advocating for and developing effective solutions and services that address identified district needs," said Kevin MacDonald.
"I have a healthy respect for the stellar reputation the Partnership has built over the last decade and I expect to continue this culture along with a tremendous faith in our future. I am very excited to begin charting the future with the GVEP Board of Education and all the stakeholders in our region," stated MacDonald.
Betty Lapp, GVEP Board President, stated, “Our Board of Education is confident that Kevin MacDonald understands the relationship between BOCES and our component districts from both sides, and is capable of leading us through the issues we face in our region. The search process was rigorous and the Board of Education truly values the input we received from our various stakeholder groups, including component superintendents, as well as staff and community members, who met with the candidates to help us make a final decision.”
Kevin MacDonald is currently the superintendent of the Royalton-Hartland Central School District where he has served for the past four years. Prior to that, he served as assistant superintendent of the Orleans/Niagara BOCES from 2002 – 2009. Mr. MacDonald has held several academic posts, including director of alternative education at Erie 1 BOCES in 2001 to 2002, and principal of the junior/senior high school at Royalton-Hartland CSD from 1998 to 2001. He is a Board Member of the New York StateRural Schools Association, a member of the New York State Council of School Superintendents, and the Association for Career and Technical Education, among others.
