“I think the cycle we’re in right now is that the profession isn’t as attractive of a profession as it once might have been,” she said. She said the profession goes through cycles. However, like many districts across the state and nation, staffing challenges are nothing new, Chauncey said. While enrollment doesn’t seem to be a challenge, staffing high school math classes is, the superintendent said. “I see them probably holding steady for a while.” “They’re a small district, but a solid small district and I don’t see right now the numbers going down,” she said. The district did recently enroll 18 students from nearby Edinburg and those students come in seventh grade and stay until they graduate high school, she said. She said building this vision is done while keeping in mind funding, too.īeyond looking at physical spaces, the new school chief has been meeting with staff and looking into data like student enrollment.Ĭhauncey said she’s reviewed data from the last three years and district enrollment figures have remained steady. Some of putting this into practice includes looking at flexible seating options and whether classrooms allow for quickly getting in and out of groups, as well as whether hallway display cases are bright and showing off student accomplishments. I’m looking at the hallways, I’m looking at the displays, I’m looking at how we’re taking advantage of this beautiful building,” she said, noting she wants to bring out the beauty of the school district. “I’m not just looking at curriculum and instruction. That includes looking at how classrooms work and make students feel in the space. To start, she’s looking at the district’s facility to see how it can be improved to create a progressive learning environment.

“Education like any business is a system - a very complex system,” she said.Ĭhauncey is taking that concept and implementing it into her work as a superintendent. During her time there, she said the core of what she was learning was based around systems. “We saw that as a strong benefit to our small district.”Ĭhauncey earned her doctorate in information management from Syracuse University’s iSchool. “Not only her experience within the school community, but also in the private sector as well,” said John Sira, school board president. But, she said her time spent working for two smaller school districts in the state and a career in information management, at places like Citicorp and Morgan Guaranty, will help her only build on what Northville has already achieved over the years. Northville, a district of only roughly 450 students, is much different from Chauncey’s previous job as superintendent of Rockland County BOCES. “When I interviewed and learned about Northville and learned about the community - the types of initiatives, what they believe in from an instructional and learning perspective, it fit so closely with my own beliefs,” she said. So, when the position at Northville became available, Chauncey decided to investigate whether it would be a good fit for her. Sarah Chauncey, is using her years of experience in information management to look at how the various systems that make up the district are used to ensure they meet students’ needs.Ĭhauncey was hired unanimously by the district’s school board in March, but took over the position from retiring superintendent Leslie Ford on July 1.Ĭhauncey, a native of a village just outside Syracuse, and her husband Steve always wanted to move back upstate after spending years in the New York City area, she said.
