Administrative Restructuring
Dear Cazenovia Families and Community Members, I am proud to share an important evolution in our school district’s leadership team. To better serve our students and ensure our schools remain at the forefront of a changing educational landscape, I recommended, and last night the Board of Education approved, the appointment of two proven local leaders to key district-wide roles. Effective April 20th, Amy Getman-Herringshaw will serve as our Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction (currently in the role of Middle School Principal), and Jenn Raux (Currently in the role of Director of Instructional Technology) will serve as our Assistant Superintendent for Operations and Innovation. It is important to clarify that these appointments do not add new administrative positions to our district budget. Instead, we are utilizing a "shifted and shared" model. By restructuring existing duties and filling vacated roles, we are formalizing a leadership structure that is intended to increase efficiency, and is focused on high-level strategy without increasing the financial burden on our taxpayers. These roles are designed to directly support our Strategic Plan as well as the new initiatives from the state, NY Inspires and the Portrait of a Graduate , which fundamentally change the requirements for graduation. This also comes at a time that the landscape for employment is changing dramatically with AI, along with other major shifts in technology. By promoting Amy and Jenn, two leaders who already know and care about our community, we are ensuring that Cazenovia is prepared for the next decade of education. Their combined oversight will include: Academic Excellence: Ensuring seamless Vertical Alignment of our PreK-12 curriculum. Modern Readiness: Integrating AI and digital literacy to prepare students for an evolving workforce. Student Support: Overseeing Community Schools initiatives and mental health supports. Operational Integrity: Managing state and federal grants (as well as attempting to target new grants), staff recruitment and retainment, and attempting to improve district-wide communications. As Mrs. Getman-Herringshaw transitions from her role as Middle School Principal to her new district-wide position, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Todd Freeman as our Interim Middle School Principal, also effective April 20th. Mr. Freeman brings a wealth of experience to our team, providing a steady hand and a smooth transition for our students and staff while we conduct a thorough search for a permanent principal. Mr. Freeman has had experience as a principal as well as a Superintendent, most recently as a Superintendent at Cincinnatus Central School and as an interim Superintendent at Tully Central School. These changes represent our commitment to being "future-ready." We are not just maintaining our schools; we are evolving them to ensure every Laker graduate is equipped with the skills, resilience, and knowledge to succeed in an ever-changing world. The leadership from within the organization speaks to the skills that are on the current team, as we have a tremendous amount of skill and talent in our organization. I am deeply confident in Amy and Jenn’s vision, and I am grateful for your continued partnership as we work together to make Cazenovia an exceptional place to learn and grow. Please join me in welcoming them into these new leadership roles. Sincerely, Kevin Linck

Reorganization (Merger) Study Information
Dear Members of the Cazenovia and Morrisville-Eaton Communities, Thank you to everyone who took time to attend the Virtual Merger Exploration Kickoff held on February 3rd. We greatly appreciate the strong interest, thoughtful questions, and respectful engagement shown by community members from both districts. We are writing to share an important update and to offer our sincere apologies for two technical issues that occurred during the event. First, we learned during the meeting that some participants did not have access to the live Q&A feature. Second, despite multiple on-screen notifications indicating that the meeting was being recorded, the recording file could not be located once the session ended. The IT team conducted a thorough review of our systems, and Microsoft has since confirmed that both issues were the result of a technical glitch in the meeting setup. Unfortunately, they were unable to recover the recording or pinpoint a single definitive cause. We recognize that this is frustrating, particularly for those who were unable to attend live or fully participate in the Q&A. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. To ensure transparency and access to information, we are sharing the complete PowerPoint presentation from the February 3rd session in its entirety. These slides reflect the full content that was presented during the meeting. This file can be found at the merger website hub: https://www.moboces.org/mecs-cazstudy More importantly, this kickoff meeting is only the beginning of an extended, community-centered process. Over the coming weeks, Superintendent Linck and Superintendent Molloy will be scheduling a series of informal “Office Hours” and “Coffee with the Superintendents” sessions. These opportunities are intended to allow for open dialogue, questions, and conversation in smaller settings. In addition, several public forums and engagement sessions are already scheduled as part of the formal merger study process. The first two informal sessions are scheduled for: Wednes day, February 25, 2026 5:00PM-7:00PM (Cazenovia District Office Board Room) Wednesday, March 4, 2026 8:00AM – 10:00AM (Morrisville-Eaton District Office Conference Room) We strongly encourage interested community members to attend one or more of these upcoming opportunities to learn more, share perspectives, and ask questions. Dates, times, and locations will be shared shortly through district communications and the merger study webpage. As a reminder, the following public forums are planned: March 10, 2026 - Joint Cazenovia / M-E BOE Meeting in Cazenovia (High School Library) 6:00 PM March 11, 2026 , 6:00 PM Cazenovia CSD High School Auditorium 6:00 PM – Cazenovia Student/Staff-Led Building Tour 7:00 PM – Cazenovia and M-E Facility Planning and Condition Survey Review March 19, 2026 , 6:00 PM Morrisville-Eaton CSD Middle / High School Auditorium 6:00 PM –Morrisville-Eaton Student / Staff Led Building Tour 7:00 PM – Transportation / Food Service Review / Buildings and Grounds April 14, 2026 , 6:00 PM Cazenovia Burton Street Elementary Cafetorium 6:00 PM – Cazenovia Student / Staff-Led Building Tour 6:30 PM – Cazenovia and M-E Instructional / Extracurricular Program Review / Staffing April 28, 2026 , Morrisville-Eaton CSD Edward R.
