SUPERINTENDENT DR. KURTIS KOTES

Superintendent Dr. Kurtis KotesI am so excited to begin my time here in service to the community as the new Superintendent of Schools of the Mount Pleasant Central School District.  I feel honored that the Board of Education has placed their trust in me and I accept this responsibility pledging to all of you that I will always act in the best interest of our students, schools and this community.

     Over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to tour our schools and our departments.  I am filled with confidence that the staff of this school district has and will continue to provide the highest quality education to your children.  I hope to work with each and every one of them and you, our community, to affirm that we continue to sustain the great things that already exist within the educational program.  Further, we need to work together to also look for those areas where we can improve our offerings. I am committed to ensuring that your children are well prepared for success as they graduate and that every experience has prepared them to be strong students, strong citizens, and good people who will be ready to accept the challenges of an ever demanding world

     It is important to me that I be as transparent as possible.  To that extent, I will be publishing to the community my entrance plan and what I hope to accomplish over my first year as Superintendent of Schools.  This framework should provide the community with an understanding of what is important to me as the leader of this school district. I also will work with the staff in the District Office to make sure that I provide the community with regular updates via the website and email communication on the progress of my transition to the Superintendency.  
 
     Finally, I look forward to getting to personally know our students and their families.  Nothing is more gratifying than to be able to celebrate the success of your children after building meaningful relationships.  Similarly, it is of utmost importance to be able to help them when they are in need. A trusting relationship opens the door for students to confide in their teachers and administrators when the moment arises.  I hope, with time, to build these important bonds with all of you.
 
     I wish all of you a restful and enjoyable summer recess.  It is a wonderful time to rest and recharge with our families and loved ones. Please do not hesitate to contact me here in the District Office if I can answer any questions or if you just want to say hello! Otherwise, I look forward to the opening of the new school year and to meeting all of you!

 

Respectfully,

 

Dr. Kurtis M. Kotes
Superintendent of Schools
