Current Deputy Superintendent Demario Strickland is the pick to head the district once current Superintendent Carmine Peluso leaves at the end of next month to head up Churchville-Chili schools.
The Rochester City School District Board of Education Thursday announced that Demario Strickland will serve as interim superintendent, as the district continues its search for a school chief.
Demario Strickland, who has been serving as Deputy Superintendent of Teaching and Learning since March 2023, will take over in July for Supt. Carmine Peluso, who is leaving RCSD to become Superintendent of the Churchville-Chili School District.
