From staff reports
The Dolgeville school board has chosen a new superintendent of schools.
Joseph Gilfus signed a contract Tuesday, Jan. 12, to fill the position, pending a formal board appointment next week.
Dolgeville Board of Education members decided Dec. 16 to offer Gilfus the position. Board members will have to vote Tuesday, Jan. 19, to formally make the appointment and validate the contract.
“There’s a lot of tradition at Dolgeville Central School District, and I’m honored to be a part of that now,” Gilfus said. “The enthusiasm that everyone from teachers and staff to parents and the school community have for providing students a strong education makes me excited to join the team.”

The winter recess begins Dec. 23 for schools in the Herkimer BOCES area, but most of the component schools will be shifting to at least a day or two of remote instruction prior to that date, according to Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES Superintendent Sandra Sherwood.
That includes Herkimer BOCES, which is planning to move to virtual instruction for Monday and Tuesday prior to the break – as long as circumstances don’t force the change prior to that time, Sherwood said. She hopes the two days combined with the winter break will allow BOCES programs to resume as scheduled Jan. 4.
“It all depends on human behavior,” she added.
