I am up for re-election to the Fulton Board of Education.
I have served on the Fulton BOE for five terms (since 2001), and I am seeking a 6th term. I have served as the Board Clerk, Vice President (2006-2007), and President (2012-2018). I have served on the Fulton BOE during tough budget years and have advocated for our students, staff and school community always. During my five years as Board President, I presided over boards that made decisions to increase our high school graduation rate from 63% to 83%. I also presided over the board that completed our search for a new superintendent, resulting in the appointment of our Superintendent of Schools, Brian Pulvino. In 2017, I received the Oswego County School Boards’ Association’s “School Board Member of the Year Award,” and I was likewise recognized by the CNY School Board’s Association for “Extraordinary Service in Public Education.”
As a board member, I have been a political advocate at the local, State, and Federal levels. I have served on several committees with the New York State School Board’s Association, and have twice completed their “Master Board Member Training Program.”
What inspires me to run is my lifelong commitment to Public Education. By career, I am an educator. I taught in the Baldwinsville CSD for ten years, and I am currently a principal in the North Syracuse CSD (19 years). I am the parent of two sons, who are currently students in the Fulton City School District. As a parent, educator, administrator and as a seasoned board member, I bring experience and a diverse perspective to the role/office. I have been part of governance teams that have navigated change and years that were/ are fiscally challenging for our school community, and I hope to continue to serve my community.
Sincerely,
Dave Cordone
Candidate for the Fulton School Board
