Rochester City School District Board President Van White and Terry Dade have received Commissioner Elia’s response to the revised action plan the Board of Education submitted to the State Education Department.

As indicated in the Commissioner's response, the District's recent submission provides a more cohesive vision for improvement. These revisions have addressed the Distinguished Educator's findings and recommendations.
