PUTNAM VALLEY- New York State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa will be visiting the Putnam Valley School District next month.
The news was reported by Putnam Valley Superintendent of Schools Jeremy Luft, who described the visit as “an exciting opportunity to showcase how we are aligning instruction and student experiences to ensure our students graduate prepared, confident, and future-ready.”
Luft commended the “hard work of our dedicated staff allowing Putnam Valley to receive recognition across New York State as a model district. Schools near and far are requesting visits to observe our classrooms and learn from our instructional practices. The Commissioner’s visit reflects this growing interest, and she is eager to see firsthand the practices taking place in our schools and share those insights with other educational leaders.”
The last time a Commissioner of Education visited Putnam Valley was in 2014 when then-Commissioner John King spent a day at the invitation of former Superintendent and current NYS Regent Fran Wills.
During his tour, King liked what he observed in Putnam Valley calling it “very encouraging to see a school and a district where folks are committed to the professional development that teachers and principals need in order to be successful.”
King described Putnam Valley as a “small district but it has become a leader in quality educational programs not only regionally but across the state.”
