Three Village board of education meeting room dedicated to late trustee
At the March 22 Three Village Central School District Board of Education meeting, the board dedicated the North Country Board of Education Room to be commemorated as the William F. Connors Jr. Memorial Board of Education Meeting Room. Connors, who died July 21 last year, served the Three Village Central School District for 21 years. In this time, he was a board trustee, the vice president of the board and the president of the board. Above all, he was a parent to three Three Village Central School District alumni. “We honor the legacy of the person who dedicated a large portion of his life to the
Three Village Central School District,” said Kevin Scanlon, superintendent. “It is fitting that we acknowledge his commitment to Three Village by dedicating this board room in his memory.” The boardroom will feature a plaque with a picture of Connors that reads in part, “What truly distinguished Mr. Connors was the pure altruism with which he led our district. His unselfish commitment to the students, staff and school community identified him as a most remarkable educator and board trustee who has made an indelible mark and lasting impact on the Three Village Central School District.”
Connors’ family joined the Board of Education and central administration for the dedication of the room. “The dedication of this board room would have made him proud, but he would have received it with a humble and grateful heart,” said Corinne Keane, Connors’ daughter and P.J. Gelinas Junior High School principal. “May his legacy of service, kindness toward others and love of Three Village live on in all that have had the pleasure to know him in his lifetime and in those who will serve this community within the walls of this room.” —Submitted by the Three Village Central School District
