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!

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.

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.

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.

NYS began the process of moving from Common Core to the Next Generation Learning Standards in 2017, and, while slowed by the pandemic, Greece CSD has fully transitioned to the Next Generation Learning Standards in both ELA and Math for grades K-8. Grades 9-12 have been transitioning to the new standards, and next school year marks the start of Regents Exams based on the new standards in some subject areas, with the others being phased in shorty thereafter.

Did you know that there are candidates in the Greece BOE Election that are building their platform on moving away from Common Core? This issue has already been solved. For example, there are candidates whose website lists this as part of their solutions to the challenges of 2023:

The Greece Teachers, GASA, and AGCEP have endorsed three candidates who know what the Learning Standards are in NY State: McCABE, BUTLER, & MALONEY. They’re focused on the issues of today and tomorrow, not yesterday.
