• Addison Central School District Community –

    It is my honor and privilege to introduce myself to you as the new Superintendent of the Addison Central School District. Hopefully, my name and face are not new to you, and you recognize me from our conversations at extracurricular and community events during my three years serving the district as the Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, as well as Interim Superintendent. During this time, I have worked to better know and understand the Addison school community, its people and their values, as well as how to best serve this community and prepare our students for success in a larger global community.

    Among the most important things I have come to understand is that this community expects the Superintendent to be present, visible, and involved. Not only do I believe the community deserves this, but I believe it is necessary for the Superintendent to meet these expectations in order to continue to understand and be connected to the community and its members. To this end, I look forward to continuing to be present and visible, so that I may continue building relationships within and learning about the community.

    Also, among the most important things I have come to understand is that the community expects fiscal responsibility. The Addison school community expects and deserves to be confident that the district is operating in a manner that reflects the financial realities of the community, while at the same time ensuring the long-term fiscal health of the district. To this end, I will continue to work with the Board of Education and Business Office to ensure both, as well as to communicate with the community to build trust in this regard.

    Finally, I know that I still have a lot to learn about Addison and its community. I look forward to and invite you to connect with me to share your insights and hopes for our district, schools, and students. Together, we can help our district achieve its highest potential, best provide outstanding educational experiences for our students, achieve our mission and vision, and live up to our commitment to student success.

    Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our district, schools, faculty, staff, and ultimately, our students.

     

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Jim Peiffer, Superintendent
