PARISHVILLE — The Parishville-Hopkinton Central School Board of Education named Dr. William Collins its new superintendent Thursday night during a special meeting in the school’s conference room.
He assumes his duties July 1.
The BOE is negotiating an employment contract with Dr. Collins, the school said in an email.
Dr. Collins currently serves as the coordinator of Graduate Educational Leadership Programs at St. Lawrence University, a position he has held since 2013. Prior to this position, he served as the principal for the William E Norris Elementary School in Southhampton, MA for nearly nine years.
Collins beat out fellow finalist Erin Woods who serves as the Special Education School Improvement Specialist (SESIS) for the Regional Special Education Technical Assistance Center (RSE TASC).
Collins and Woods participated in stakeholder and community group interviews in late May.
The BOE expressed their appreciation for the time stakeholders took to “objectively” interview the candidates and provide feedback.
The board was assisted by Thomas R. Burns, district superintendent of BOCES, in the hiring process.
Wayne Walbridge has served as interim superintendent since Feb. 13 when he replaced Darin P. Saiff, who took a position as assistant superintendent for instruction at BOCES.
