Our post-election message to the Greece Central Family

To The GCSD Community:


Thank you for supporting Sean McCabe, William Maloney, and Todd Butler for the Board of Education. We congratulate Sean and Bill for your re-elections, and especially Todd for your first election to our School Board. Welcome aboard! This was a resounding win for all of Greece.

We are buoyed with hope for our shared futures by seeing the community come out to the polls in numbers far surpassing last year and supporting all three candidates endorsed by the GTA, GASA, AGCEP, and Teamsters. It was a true collaborative, team effort that paid off in a statement election victory for these candidates.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Scott, Mr. Millan, and Mr. Stenzel for running. While we didn’t necessarily agree with what you proposed bringing to the Board, we know that everyone who runs for School Board is doing so because they care about the success of our students. It is through robust debates and healthy competition that we can truly discover the best path forward for our district. Thank you.

One thing that this election illuminated is that there no shortage of work to be done in Greece CSD. A functional, compassionate, informed School Board doesn’t solve our challenges, but it’s the foundation that supports all of us in our mission to give the young people of the Town of Greece the best educational experience that we can.

Thank you voters. Thank you to our fellow GTA members. Thank you GASA, AGCEP, and Teamsters. Thank you Sean, Bill, and Todd.

We guess we can just say: Thank you Greece!

Today is Peace Officers Memorial Day. It held annually in the United States on May 15 in honor of federal, state and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty.

The idea of a Peace Officers Memorial Day came into effect on October 1, 1961, when Congress asked the president to designate May 15 to honor law enforcement officers. President John F. Kennedy signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962. Each year, the president of the United States proclaims May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Thank you Greece Central Family!

The outpouring of support, recognition, and love we’ve received for Teacher Appreciation Week has been overwhelming. While we all chose this profession because we’re passionate about kids and education, and not for any recognition, it sure feels great to know that so many people care. We appreciate our students, families, and fellow GCSD colleagues, and thank you for all the love this week.

There’s one more way you can support teachers, and it’s happening next week.

The Greece Board of Education election is as important as it’s been since many of us started in Greece years ago. The Greece Teachers, along with Greece Administrators and Supervisors, and Greece Central Education Professionals, have all officially endorsed three candidates that we, as educators who care about GCSD and its students enough to dedicate our careers to them, know are the best choices to move our district forward.

Please support us by supporting MCCABE, BUTLER, & MAHONEY on May 16th.

Teachers, what does Greece BOE candidate Jordan Stenzel have to say about us?

greeceteachers GTA, Political Action

On April 24 in a radio broadcast of “The Divide,” Mr. Stenzel stated that he “wears it like a badge of honor” that he was not endorsed by Greece Teachers.

GTA is made up of 1,100 members. Our Rep Assembly, a group comprised of teachers elected by their schools to represent them, voted unanimously to endorse three candidates that we believe are best for the entire GCSD Community.  They respect teachers and and are committed to the concept of “One Greece.” 

We support McCABE, BUTLER, & MALONEY.

Bill Maloney, Sean McCabe, & Todd Butler had an outstanding night yesterday, talking to voters about their plans to move forwards in Greece CSD. Here’s a quick look at just a few of the many reasons they earned the endorsement of GTA, GASA, and AGCEP- three groups of workers in GCSD.

Why Todd Butler?

Todd is a huge proponent of the role that parents play in their children’s lives and education. He told us, “Parents are the first and most important teachers for a child and that continues once kids are in school.”

Why Bill Maloney?

Bill supports Community Schools, great model for connecting families to schools and educating them on what is happening in schools.

Why Sean McCabe?

As School Board President, Sean has consistently supported development of our sports, music, and arts programs. We’d put them up against any other district in the county!

“This division is much more than political — this is a clash of worldviews.” – David Rusterholtz, BOE President, Woodland Park, Colorado.

Town of Greece residents, we invite you to please click HERE to read a rather concerning article about some changes that recently and rapidly happened in a Colorado school district when the BOE changed directions.

We’re supporting McCABE, BUTLER, & MAHONEY on May 16th. Not because of politics, but because it’s the right thing to do. We hope you will, too.
