eizzo@adirondackdailyenterprise.com LAKE PLACID A Lake Placid Elementary School student tested positive for COVID-19 this week, but the response has changed since the fall and winter. With many people in the school community now vaccinated, and with contact between students still limited, the school will remain open. In many ways, the way the school responds to positive cases now is similar to how it responded at the start of the school year: When a student or staff member tests positive, that person is ordered to isolate, and contact tracing identifies all who may have been exposed to the coronavirus through close contact lasting more than 10 minutes. But the majority of Lake Placid’s teachers, and many eligible students age 16 and older, are now fully vaccinated, according to school district Superintendent Roger Catania. That cuts down significantly the number of people who are required to quarantine after a possible exposure.

LAKE PLACID Three people have been chosen as finalists in the search for Lake Placid’s new school superintendent. They will be appointed by the school’s Board of Education. The current superintendent, Roger Catania, is retiring at the end of this school year. Catania has been Lake Placid Central School District’s superintendent since 2013, though he worked at the high school as a counselor for several years before that, starting in 1997. The three candidates who are being considered as his replacement are Timothy Seymour, the current superintendent of the St. Regis Falls Central School District; Saranac Laker Dana Wood, former principal of the Lake Placid Middle-High School and current assistant superintendent for business, finance and support services at LPCSD; and Margaret Wright, a Canandaigua resident who has served in various administrative roles in school districts throughout the Finger Lakes region.

A few high school students said they’re thankful the administration gave them as normal a school year as they could during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though it’s been hard to plan unconventional versions of these traditional events, the students are glad to make some memories at the end of this year.
