Dear Depew UFSD Employees and Community Members,

I am writing to provide you with an update regarding the selection of a new Superintendent of Schools by the Board of Education.

As of October 15, 2024, the Board has appointed Dr. Michael Capuana, the District Superintendent of Erie 1 BOCES, to facilitate the process for the Board's appointment of a Superintendent of Schools for Depew. Dr. Capuana will work closely with our Board and community to employ a modified selection process based on last year's search efforts.

Once we hold the preliminary planning meetings with Dr. Capuana, we will provide more details about the revised process and timeline. Rest assured; stakeholder input will continue to play a crucial role in guiding the Board's decision-making process.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to retired superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Rabey for serving as Depew's interim superintendent. We also thank you. the Depew staff and community, for your invaluable assistance and understanding throughout this forthcoming search process.

The Depew Union Free School District Board of Education is dedicated to ensuring our students receive the exceptional education they deserve and rely on. To uphold this commitment, it is vital that we find an outstanding superintendent who will lead our schools with vision and excellence.

Sincerely,

Todd Bush
Depew UFSD Board President
