SCHENECTADY – City Board of Education members are poised to relaunch the search for a new school superintendent after their last effort broke down during contract negotiations with the finalist.
But what’s less certain this time around is if the district will conduct an open, closed or hybrid search or if it will hire an outside firm or consultant to assist.

Schenectady schools recall some laid-off staff; Potential first step toward returning slashed programs | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
The Schenectady school board on Wednesday recalled about two dozen laid off teachers and support staff to commence a pre-kindergarten program, the potential first step in re-establishing tens of millions of dollars in programs and staffing slashed at the start of the school year.
Interim Schenectady Superintendent Aaron Bochniak said the district was confident it would receive all of its state aid this school year and could start calling back more staff as soon as next week. As the district restores programming, he said, educators will focus on increasing in-person learning opportunities, shrinking virtual class sizes and adding instructional supports like tutoring and other academic interventions.
