12/11/2023 - Legislative Breakfast
The Whitesboro Central School District hosted a Legislative Breakfast at Whitesboro High School on Dec. 11 for elected officials and local superintendents to discuss important issues facing the region’s school districts and goals for the coming year.
Senator Joseph Griffo, Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, Assemblyman Brian Miller and Assemblyman Robert Smullen were in attendance, along with superintendents from the Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES and Madison-Oneida BOCES component school districts.
The superintendents advocated in favor of several initiatives that would positively impact their school districts and PK-12 education throughout the Mohawk Valley and Central New York regions. Whitesboro student artwork was on display and several student-musicians were selected to perform prior to breakfast. Attendees were led on a tour of several areas of the High School by High School Principal Mr. Jeff Kuhn, including the Pit, library and a science classroom featuring a scanning electron microscope. High School Science Department Chair Mr. Sean Ryan and Science Teacher Ms. Dana Wadnola provided a demonstration of the scanning electron microscope -- one of only four in high schools across the entire nation.
The Whitesboro Central School District thanks our local elected officials and regional superintendents for their time and attention to the critical legislative topics affecting education in New York State.
