Brockport Central School District has named Orlando Benzan as the district’s first Equity and Inclusion Support Specialist, a part-time position created to elevate and accelerate the district’s vision for inclusive excellence.
Mr. Benzan, currently a Brockport High School social studies teacher and teacher union president, begins his new additional assignment on February 1. While Mr. Benzan will be under the direction of the Office of Instruction, he will work closely with students, staff, families, administrators and community members to ensure that the district’s culture and climate is equitable and inclusive for all.
“I’m looking forward to applying my diverse life and educational experiences to help create a program that will foster the educational growth of our students and school community,” said Benzan.
The district will also be collaborating with area school districts through Monroe BOCES to further coordinate and advance its equitable and inclusive efforts.
“As a district, we are very grateful for the work that has been done thus far in our school community, but know there is more to do,” stated Superintendent Sean Bruno. “It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our campus is equitable and inclusive.”
