Brian Hubert is reporting in The Daily Mail the Cairo-Durham Central School District is about to embark on the process of creating its new strategic educational plan. The district will be guided through the procedure by Questar III BOCES Assistant Superintendent Andrew DeFeo (Deh-FAY-oh). The plan will begin with the selection of 30 community members, including parents, local business owners, school personnel and Board of Education to serve as members of the Long Range Educational Committee. DeFeo said, “We have found that the process of building a strategic operating plan works best when we have as wide of a cross section of the community as possible." Committee members must commit to attend all four committee sessions to be held on Jan. 16, 17, 18, and Feb. 3. Prospective participants are asked to complete a questionnaire that will help school officials to ensure one segment of the community is not overrepresented or overlooked. Nominations are due by Dec. 31, and can be emailed to the District at e doolan [at] cairodurham [dot] org or mailed to the District Clerk, Cairo Durham Central School District, Post Office Box 780, Cairo, N.Y, 12413.
