Letter to the Superintendent from a teacher and a Board Member:
Mr. Giuffreda, My name is Jack Dugan and I have been employed at B.O.C.E.S. as a Special Ed. Teacher for the past 22 years. I am currently housed at the Fredonia Middle School in a 1:8:1 classroom and absolutely love it there. I am also excited about all of the technological advancements B.O.C.E.S. has made these past few years. I am very fortunate to have a SMARTBoard in my classroom along with many other new tech. gadgets to help aide in instruction and delivery of material and information to my students. For that, I am grateful. I also would like to tell you how thankful I am for Kim Texter. She has been an important addition to our staff and I cannot tell you enough how fortunate we are to have her. She has set up some incredible staff development days, great training opportunities with the SMARTBoard and has secured important material for my classroom in order to better enable instruction to my special needs learners for the upcoming school year. I love her attitude and enthusiasm she brings to her job and she has been a vital component that we have lacked at B.O.C.E.S. for many years now. I can only hope that we can secure her services for the upcoming school years. I just wanted to pass this on to you and let you know how thankful I am to have the honor of working with Kim. I also want to thank you for the nice note that you sent out to your employees. It means a lot to all of us that you took the time to recognize our efforts. Have a nice summer. Sincerely, Jack P. Dugan, Jr. Congratulations Kim. I just read the note from Jack Duggan singing your praises. I want to add my voice to his. You exemplify the mission of this BOCES - to provide LEADERSHIP and SERVICE. We are so very fortunate to have you on our staff. You have proven you go the extra mile to provide service to our staff and component districts. Thank you so much for all you do on our behalf. It has not gone unnoticed!
