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.

District’s Quest for Information Leads to Strange Request
February 09, 2021
The digital era’s increasing demand for information appears to be creating an unfortunate consequence for some homeschool families. They’re being asked to comply with bureaucratic requirements that are unnecessary and in some cases border on the absurd.
This problem was illustrated again recently in New York. St. Regis Falls Central School District officials told a family who wanted to switch from private school that their initial homeschool paperwork could not be accepted.
The reason? Officials said the family could not homeschool unless they first enrolled their children in the public school.
Feb 4, 2021 What you do outside of school has a direct impact on whether schools can remain open to in-person learning. Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES serves 23 schools across 10 school districts, and it operates two schools itself. Out of all of the students, staff and teachers in all of those schools and school districts, we are only aware of a handful of COVID-19 cases being spread within our schools. We have strong plans in place to prevent spread of the virus once it’s brought into our schools physical distancing, strict mask adherence, cleaning standards and more. Each of our school districts has a reopening plan that can be viewed on our websites that sets forth this guidance. These rules have been successful in stopping any pandemic spread inside our buildings.
