I look forward to seeing how he transforms BCSD with his enthusiasm for education and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Sutton has served as the Principal of John Kennedy Intermediate since 2020. He previously served as Assistant Principal at Batavia Middle School and as Technology Coach in the Hilton Central School District prior to arriving in Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have had the distinct honor and privilege of working in leadership roles at both John Kennedy Intermediate and Batavia Middle School, where I was able to share my passion for infusing technology into instruction and preparing students with 21st-century skills. I\u2019m thrilled to step into the district-wide role of Director of Educational Technology as I believe there are tremendous opportunities to take our district to new heights of innovation and provide new and exciting learning opportunities for staff, students, and the community,\u201d said Brian Sutton.<br><br>\u201cIt is critical we prepare students for our ever-changing society through teaching, computer science, and digital fluency learning standards. I am dedicated to turning over every stone to ensure that, under my leadership, our district continues to progress in both the technological and instructional aspects of education,\u201d said Sutton.<br><br>After a 2022 Comptroller Audit and subsequent independent Technology Department Functional Review in the fall of 2022, Jason Smith, BCSD leadership, and the Board of Education determined that hiring a Director of Educational Technology was a top priority to meet the needs of the district. Following Mr. Sutton\u2019s appointment, he will work with the leadership team to follow up on additional items outlined in the audit and review, including equipment inventory, the re-formation of the Instructional Technology Committee, additional staff and student training, and the implementation of an overall technology curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Board of Education and Jason Smith took the findings of both the Comptroller Audit and resulting Technology Review and made immediate steps towards prioritizing IT needs across the district,\u201d said John Marucci, Board of Education President. \u201cThe Director of Educational Technology is a much-needed position on our leadership team, and Brian is a wonderful choice to fill the role. He\u2019s been an exceptional leader at John Kennedy and BMS, and I know he\u2019ll bring his stellar work ethic to the position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Sutton will remain as Principal of John Kennedy Intermediate through June 30. Jason Smith and the BCSD leadership team will immediately begin the search process to name a replacement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 BATAVIA, NY\u2013 On Monday, May 8, upon recommendation from Superintendent Jason Smith, the Batavia City School District Board of Education approved the appointment of Brian Sutton as the Director of Educational Technology, effective July 1, 2023.
