Michael A. “Mick” Cioffi, 68, of Williamsport, died at UPMC Susquehanna on Jan. 6, 2021 due to complications from Covid-19.
Mick was born in Williamsport Sept. 4, 1952, a son of Nicholas E. and Anne M. (Mangiardi) Cioffi.
He was a 1970 graduate of Williamsport High School. He then earned a B.A. in political science from Mansfield State College. After graduation, he began a career at the former Grit Publishing Co. as a copy and sports editor. Mick then realized his true passion was education. He went to Lycoming College to earn his elementary teaching certification and then began his teaching career in 1988 in the Williamsport Area School District, first teaching at Hepburn Lycoming Elementary School, then at Round Hills Elementary School, and finally at Lycoming Valley Intermediate School. During his teaching career, he continued his education, earning his master’s degree in instructional technology from Bloomsburg University. He retired in 2019.

Although students in the Williamsport Area School District remain in a remote platform this week, plans are to return to in-person instruction Monday, Superintendent Dr. Timothy S. Bowers revently told members of the school board. The board also confirmed the district’s 2021-22 budget will remain within the state mandated Act 1 index, meaning any possible tax increase cannot be larger than a set percentage.
“Our plan is to bring the kids back to in-person instruction…we feel comfortable doing that,” he said. “Hopefully the numbers continue to look better. They’re still higher than we like, obviously, but they are looking better.”
