Churchville-Chili Superintendent of Schools Dr. Loretta Orologio has announced her plan to retire from the district, effective June 30, 2024. Orologio was appointed superintendent in April 2014 and has spent the last 19 years working in the district.
“First and foremost, I want to express my appreciation for the privilege to have served the Churchville-Chili faculty and staff, students, community and Board of Education,” says Orologio. “During my tenure as the superintendent of Churchville-Chili, I have been honored to work collaboratively with staff focusing on meeting the needs of all students and creating a supportive environment where they can feel a sense of belonging, engage in quality learning experiences, and enjoy a wide range of opportunities such as athletics, music, performing Arts, robotics, and extra curricular clubs.”
“While we are sad Lori is leaving, we are also happy for her and her family. On behalf of the Board, we wish her all the best and thank her for everything she has done for the district and the school community over the last 19 years, including the last ten as superintendent,” said School Board President Kathleen Dillon. “During Lori’s tenure as superintendent, she helped to foster a welcoming and engaging environment for our students to grow and succeed. Her principled leadership has helped to move the district forward.”
Prior to becoming superintendent, Orologio served as the district’s Assistant Superintendent for Instruction since 2005. She also served as principal in the Greece Central School District and elementary school principal in the Attica Central School District. She began her career in 1984 as a teacher in the Perry Central School District.
The Churchville-Chili School Board has appointed Monroe 2 – Orleans BOCES District Superintendent Jo Anne L. Antonacci as search consultant. A timeline for the search for a new superintendent will be forthcoming from District Superintendent Antonacci with the intention to have a new superintendent in place on July 1, 2024.
