The Wheatland-Chili Board of Education has selected Lynda Quick as the next superintendent of the Wheatland-Chili Central School District. She accepted the appointment to the position at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, June 22, and will begin her new role on August 17, 2020.
Quick is currently the Deputy Superintendent for the Rochester City School District. She has previously served as Superintendent of the Skaneateles Central School District and as Cattaraugus-Allegany-Erie-Wyoming BOCES District Superintendent.
“Ms. Quick has an extensive and impressive background, having served in various roles within public education across upstate New York. The Board genuinely believes we have hired an educational and community professional to lead our community’s greatest asset,” said Wheatland-Chili School Board President James Musshafen. “I would like to thank the community at large for your support during the feedback and information gathering sessions. The Board of Education is sincerely grateful for the feedback provided by the community, staff, students, and administrators via surveys and forums throughout this important process.”
With nearly 30 years in education, Quick has also served as an attorney and a Senior Labor Relations Specialist. She has bachelor’s degrees from Kent State University and studied Educational Administration at St. Bonaventure University, SUNY Buffalo, and Northern Arizona University. Quick also holds a law degree from Case Western Reserve University, with bar membership to practice law in Ohio and New York.
“I am honored to have been selected as the next Superintendent of the Wheatland-Chili Central School District,” said Quick. “I am excited to work with the Board of Education, staff, and community as we build upon the great things happening in the District. We are navigating through challenging times, but we are also presented with incredible opportunities. I will strive to lead with passion, purpose, and transparency as we plan and prepare for the future of our District.”
“The search process has been challenging in this time of COVID-19, but through the guidance and assistance of Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES District Superintendent Jo Anne Antonacci, we were able to keep the process on track,” said Board President Musshafen. “The Board looks forward to working through a smooth transition with Lynda and our retiring Superintendent, Dr. Deb Leh.”
