Scotia-Glenville Board of Education begins search for next superintendent of schools

On Monday, October 5, the Scotia-Glenville Board of Education appointed Lauren J. Gemmill, Capital Region BOCES District Superintendent, as the search consultant to find the next superintendent of schools.

The District will conduct a comprehensive confidential search beginning in October and throughout the winter to replace Susan Swartz, who announced her intent to retire at the end of the 2026-27 school year.

The confidential search process will begin October 13, with gathering community feedback via an online survey and a series of focus groups. The schedule of focus groups will be shared as soon as it is set. Members of the Scotia-Glenville community are welcome to participate in both the online survey and focus groups.
