Susan Campriello reports in The Daily Mail on the change in leadership of the Cairo-Durham Central School District. Interim superintendent Gregg Sanik took over the reigns of the 1,400-student district May 14, from Sally Sharkey. Sharkey was appointed to the district's top spot in 2005, and the Board of Education opted to not renew her contract last year. Sanik told the paper the coming school year will be one of change, and that he intends to help the school community focus on common priorities while it works to cut costs and maintain the quality of its programs. As for what he's observed so far he said, “I’ve been overly impressed by what’s going on in these buildings.” Sanik signed on as interim superintendent through the end of the 2012-13 school year. He will be paid $550 per day and receive no benefits. Sanik, 59, recently retired after 32 years with the Stamford Central School District in Delaware County. Capital Region BOCES will begin the search for Sharkey's permanent successor after the board reorganization in July. The next Cairo-Durham school board meeting, scheduled for May 31, has been canceled. The board meets next at 7 p.m. June 7, in the MS cafeteria. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
