Schools News

I received the following news that may be of interest to a wider audience:

Ms. Maxine Fantroy-Ford has been appointed interim principal of Albany High School and is a candidate for the permanent position as the search for the permanent person gets underway.

Ms. Willerbee Range, who is currently a PhD candidate in Literacy at SUNY Albany and has served in a wide variety of administrative positions over the last 12 years has been chosen to be the principal at the Dr. John Giffen Memorial Elementary School in the South End. While most of her experience is in the North Colonie School District, she also recently participated in a literacy outreach program at Giffen (with John Harris and others) which had her walking the
neighborhoods and gave her an understanding of some of the strong programs at that school.

In her appointment from the school board one board member has observed "While she was well-spoken and prepared for her meeting with the Board, I think what impressed the board most is her deep-seated passion for wanting to be part of the solution here in Albany - and her absolute conviction that every child cannot only learn - but excel." (Doesschate)

In addition: Tracy Ford, the assistant principal at the Myers Middle School, has been appointed the new principal at Philip Livingston School. He is currently completing his Ph D. and is a Livingston alumnai.
