Mount Markham Central School District has launched a search for a new superintendent of schools and is accepting applications now through April 25th. A community information session regarding the search process will be held on April 16th.
Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES District Superintendent, D.J. Shepardson, is leading the superintendent search on behalf of the Mount Markham Board of Education. The superintendent search brochure and application can be found at www.herkimer-boces.org and www.mmcsd.org. Shepardson will host a community information session regarding the superintendent search at 6 p.m. on April 16th in the Mount Markham High School Auditorium. The session will include a discussion of the search process, timeline, and community survey. The Mount Markham Board of Education is also looking for community input about the search process through an online survey that will be open from April 17th to 25th. The survey will be posted on the Herkimer BOCES and Mount Markham websites on April 17th.
Screening and selection of candidates will take place between April and May 2025 with Board of Education interviews scheduled for May and June 2025. It is anticipated that the new superintendent will begin on Sept. 1st.
The superintendent search process began following a recent announcement by current Mount Markham Superintendent Joe D’Apice that he will be resigning to accept the position of superintendent of schools at the New Hartford Central School District. D’Apice will remain Mount Markham’s superintendent through April 27th. David Langone has been appointed to serve as the interim superintendent beginning April 28th.
