It’s time
for another school year to begin, and while the construction project
is coming to an end, our staff is getting excited about the new
facilities and the educational benefits these renovations will bring
to our students. As always, we are saying goodbye to some longtime
dedicated employees, who have decided to begin their own new
adventures in retirement.

enacted in the transportation department.

Seven district employees retire
Students returning to school this fall will see some new faces due
to the retirement of dedicated and experienced teachers and support
staff who have served the district well for a combined 186 years.
Three people, speech therapist Cheryl Phillips,
coach and physical education teacher Craig Phillips, and bus driver
Kermit Mosher announced their retirements in the spring. Mosher, who
has served the district 33 years, will leave his post in October.
Craig Phillips has served the district for 35 years as teacher,
basketball and baseball coach, and student council advisor. Cheryl
Phillips has been with the district 21 years.
Retirement notices from teachers Barry Kahn
and Sarah Maiello and bus drivers Roger McDuffee and Gordon
Eggleston were received in July and recently accepted by the board
of education. Kahn, a fifth grade teacher, has taught at Harry Hoag
Elementary School for 34 years and Maiello, a coach and physical
education teacher, has taught at Harry Hoag for 33 years. Eggleston,
the district’s head bus driver, has served Fort Plain students for
20 years and McDuffee, a full-time bus driver has served for 10
years.
Maiello and Craig Phillips will continue some of their
coaching duties in the district.
“The district is losing longtime, dedicated
employees with a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience. We
will be hard-pressed to find anyone to fill their shoes,” said
Superintendent of Schools Douglas Burton.
