(July 2023 - June 2026)

In 2016, my wife (a teacher), along with our two children, moved to Baldwinsville.  We came to the district because of the exemplary and outstanding education the school district offered, along with its inclusive Special Education Program.

I was born and raised in Central New York. In high school I became an Eagle Scout and participated on the varsity swim team while working as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and pre-competitive swim coach. During high school, through college, and after, I also worked as a lighting designer and a technical theater manager for their theater programs.

I have a Bachelors in Science in Biology from SUNY Geneseo and a Bachelors in Science in Respiratory Care from SUNY Upstate Medical University.

Professionally, I am a Critical Care Flight Paramedic Respiratory Therapist and Clinical Base Supervisor. I have worked in Emergency Medical Services as a provider, educator, and management leader for the past 20 years.

I served on the Jowonio School Board as the Treasurer, financial committee chair, and personnel committee member as well as was a member of the executive committee during my daughter’s preschool years. During my time on the board, I worked with a multitude of people, resources, and talent to accomplish tremendous growth and support to the students, staff, and school. I collaboratively worked to develop a successful budget that met the needs of the students, staff, and school. 

I am very supportive of our district’s academics and vested in Baldwinsville’s special education program, as those with special needs hold a special place in my heart. I have overcome many challenges and critical situations throughout my life and career.  I have been able to manage these situations with critical thinking, thinking strategically, as well as creating realistic and actionable plans to solve or capitalize on the opportunities presented. I look forward to continuing the success of the Baldwinsville School District with the opportunity to join the School Board.  My knowledge, commitment, and experiences can provide a beneficial and meaningful contribution to the school board.

Friends, our progress together as a District and as neighbors has been strong and worthwhile this year. Together we implemented academic program and facilities improvements. Together we initiated a long-term strategic plan to deepen and advance learning and teaching. Together we improved student safety and school security.
 
In the six short months since my accession, the School Board has taken positive action to enhance integrity and stability in our operations and decision making. Perhaps most importantly, you directed your Board of Education to identify and retain an administrative leader equipped with experience and wisdom – and I believe we have responded effectively. The Board and Superintendent DeBarbieri established quick cooperation to eliminate obstacles to progress in strengthening core academics and enhancing student achievement. And we’re just getting started.
 
My priorities for the Board have not changed in the past six months, and will not change in the coming six months: The Board must lock in gains and maintain stability to advance academic achievement. I believe we can do this by identifying and eliminating the self-interested distractions that are so common in large organizations, and by committing the Board’s focus to learning’s irreplaceable foundation: academic freedom.
 
Please continue to contact me and the other board members you see listed on this page with your ideas and concerns. Your voice is the most important in the room.

Ms. Evangeline Miller
Ex-Officio Student Board Member
(July 2024 - June 2025)

I am honored to serve as the Ex-Officio Student Board Member for 2024-2025 and I am excited for the prospects this holds. I am currently participating in many clubs and extracurricular activities such as flag football, vice president of the Positivity Project, member of the Student Advisory Council, a volunteer Baker Buddy, leader in the Youth Alive club, and more. Community involvement is more than a tool for college admission, it builds character and develops the maturity of young minds. Seeing beyond the personal gain of volunteering to focus on the purpose will benefit everyone involved, which I hope will allow me to thoughtfully represent the student body and prove a useful resource to the Board of Education.
