Read the District Superintendent’s monthly column in the Register Star and Daily Mail newspapers.
Reviewing Our Graduation Measures
This month, SED will resume hosting regional information meetings across the state to gather feedback on what a state diploma should signify to ensure educational excellence and equity for every student in New York.
Women in the Trades
Did you know that only 3% of employees in the skilled trades are women? Females are significantly underrepresented in the skill trades at a time when many companies are looking for help, a significant number of trade workers are nearing retirement, and the pandemic has had a disproportionate economic impact on women.
Improving mental health in our schools
Each year, during the first week of October, we raise awareness of mental health through Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW). This year’s observance centers around a new awareness campaign, “Together for Mental Health.”
Welcoming back our students
District Superintendent Dr. Gladys I. Cruz discusses the return of students as part of her monthly column.
