The Peru Gazette

As part of the process to recruit a successor Superintendent of Schools at Peru Central, the Board of Education is hosting ‘open forums’ on Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 7 PM in the community room, near the high school main entrance. If additional space is required beyond the seating capacity of the community room, the auditorium will be used, instead. These ‘open forums’ are intended to provide opportunity for the school community to meet with and ask questions of two Superintendent candidates who have been invited by the Board to share their educational preparation, professional experience and preliminary vision for the Peru Central School District.  Peru CSD community members are welcome and encouraged to attend the forums, and, through a moderator, submit specific questions for candidates to answer that night.  The ‘open forums’ will also feature confidential feedback sheets, thereby providing an opportunity for those who attend to offer feedback to the Board of Education, regarding those candidates.  The evening schedule for April 14th features a 7 PM forum with the first of the two candidates, followed by an 8 PM forum with the second candidate.

Featured will be Mr. Stephen Broadwell, Superintendent of Schools at Willsboro CSD. He is certified as a NYS school district administrator & superintendent, reading teacher and physical education teacher. His past employment includes High School Principal at Peru CSD and Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics at Beekmantown CSD.

Also featured will be Dr. Thomas Stapleford, Clinical Assistant Professor  and Coordinator of Graduate Studies in Education at Temple University in Harrisburg, PA. He is certified as a school district administrator & superintendent in NYS and as a Superintendent in Pennsylvania. His past employment includes Superintendent of Schools at Tuscarora School District in Pennsylvania and Superintendent of Schools at Germantown CSD.
