MEET THE CANDIDATES

Marc Cianciola

Hello Canastota Community, My name is Marc Cianciola and I am seeking your vote for the Canastota School Board. My family and I moved into the district in 2014, and fell in love with the community. I have two children enrolled in the district. My 8th grader is active in soccer, track and other extracurricular activities, while my 6th grader is looking forward to joining modified sports and exploring new activities this fall.

I am a graduate of SUNY Potsdam with Bachelors degrees in both Politics and Communication, as well as a Master's degree from Kaplan University in Higher Education Student Services. I have worked in higher education for fifteen years, with the last ten at SUNY Morrisville, where I work in Student Activities. In this position I am responsible for leadership development, as well as small and large scale program planning. I have been active in the AYSO program coaching teams from the U8 level through the U12 level.

I have 3 goals if elected to the school board. First, is to make sure that our tax dollars are being spent in the best way to support our students and staff in the district. Second, is to make sure we are educating our students in a way to make them successful whether they go to college, trade school or into the work force. Last, I see a lot of mental health issues and bullying in the schools. We need to do a better job of advocating for the mental health of our students and create real programs to address bullying that I see in the district. These are not issues that can be solved overnight, but with the support of our community, the Canastota school district will only continue to get stronger.I hope to have your support and am always open to discussing how we can better move our district forward.

Thank you,

Marc Cianciola

Bill Haddad

I hope you can support my bid for re-election to the school board. I have currently served on the board for 7 years. I have added to the experience and leadership of the Canastota School Board during my tenure. My work experience in the Public/Private sectors and my volunteer activities will continue to be a responsive voice to the values, beliefs, and priorities of the Canastota community. Together we must continue to maximize every available resource to align with our district and school improvement plans.

I am currently employed as Site Operations Manager for Agile Sourcing Partners, Inc. providing supervision of an electrical materials lay down yard for National Grid's Smart Path Connect Project., and President/Owner of Haddad Telecom Consulting Services, Inc.

I have served as a Canastota School Board Trustee since 2016, Former President (2019- 2021), Vice President (2018-2019), and am also serving on the Budget & Audit, and Facilities Committees. I am a Canastota Village Trustee and Assistant District Administrator at NYS District 9 Little League. I am a member of the Madison County Republican Party, Canastota Lions, Canastota Civic Club, American Legion and CNY Medical Reserve Corps. I have an Electrical Engineering degree, served in the US Army, and attended numerous leadership and financial training.

My wife, Jen, and I have resided in Canastota since 2000. I have 2 daughters, Becky and Samantha, and 4 sons, Bill Jr., Cameron, David, and Andrew, as well as five grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Cameron, David, and Samantha are all Canastota graduates and Andrew is currently in 11th grade.

Wesley R. Hood

I am a lifelong resident of the Canastota Central School District. My wife Jacqueline A. Hood (Tomarchio) and I are graduates of CCSD, Class of 1981. I have twin sons Wesley R. Hood Jr. and Matthew J. Hood that both attended CCSD and graduated in 2014.

I received an AAS in Civil Engineering Technology from Mohawk Valley Community College in May of 1996 and earned a BS in Civil Engineering Technology from SUNY Institute of Technology Utica/ Rome in December of 1997. I am currently employed as a Project Manager for Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. located in Liverpool, NY. I have served the community as CCSD Board Trustee since 2014, currently completing my 3rd term, and would like to continue my service to this District in the upcoming term.

My past experience on the board along with my professional background of successfully supervising and managing multimillion dollar projects are some qualities necessary in order to be involved with the district decision making, regarding policy, procedure, and fiscal responsibility.

The Canastota Central School District is the strength of our community and the children who attend are our community’s most important asset. I take great pride in helping to ensure the success of all children in academics, extracurricular activities and athletics, by being able to offer all that we can to them with facilities we can be proud of, while being fiscally responsible to our taxpayers.

With your support I will continue to strive for continued improvement and success.

Jennifer Kitchen

I am a lifelong Central NY resident, born and raised in Syracuse and graduated from SUNY Institute of Technology Utica/Rome and St. Joseph's College of Nursing. I currently reside in Canastota with my husband, Paul and our four children, since 2005. I am presently employed at Upstate Medical University since 2001 as an RN. I have held leadership positions as a Clinical Case Manager at Upstate where I have assisted with updating new policies for our department and participated in departmental quality care initiatives.

I am actively involved in the community and presently sit on the board for Canastota AYSO as their Registrar and Coach for the past 9 years. I am also involved at St. Patrick's Church in Chittenango, where I presently assist with teaching faith formation and chaperone weekend youth conferences in Steubenville, Ohio. I have also assisted as a classroom parent prior to COVID in the Canastota Central School District.

I decided to run for Canastota Central School District School Board, to focus on opportunities for our children to obtain high-quality education and pathways towards their personal success. Our children should be afforded opportunities to participate in sports, the arts and other activities for personal growth. In accomplishing these goals, I will show support to our teachers and staff in providing a strong academic and extracurricular program where students graduate from Canastota Central School are resilient problem solvers, independent critical thinkers and respectful, responsible, productive youths of our future.
