Pioneer School District salutes its Board of Education during School Board Recognition Week in New York State (October 16-20).

Superintendent Nicholas Silvaroli said, “It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level. They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our community stakeholders expect.”

Mr. Silvaroli said the key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by:

  • Developing a shared vision and goals for the district
  • Ensuring strategies, resources, policies and programs align with district goals
  • Assessing and providing accountability for student achievement
  • Supporting a healthy school district culture in which to work and learn
  • Evaluating the superintendent to ensure continuous improvement
  • And much more! 

When you see a school board member in the community, be sure to thank them for their volunteer service. 

The Pioneer Board of Education consists of President Melissa Nocera-Collins, Vice President Angela Wiseman, Denise Urbino, Darla Schwab, Brandon Pyc, Shawn Hannon, Eric Slocum,  Wendy Burch and Mark Kless.
