COVID Coordination Team

CVSD’s Reopening Coordination Team, led by Superintendent Elaine Pinckney, meets weekly to plan and coordinate our efforts. The lead person in each area also meets with others during the week to address the specific needs, concerns, and challenges in their respective area.

• The Instructional Coordination Team is co-led by Jeff Evans, Director of Learning and Innovation and Meagan Roy, Director of Student Support Services. They work directly with principals and teachers to develop learning models and schedules and ensure that the curriculum is aligned across the schools and between grade levels.

• The Social-Emotional Team is led by Cassandra Townsend. She works with principals, school counselors, and our Director of Integrated Wellness to ensure that our opening plan has a robust social and emotional component.

• The Operations Team is led by Jeanne Jensen, Chief Operations Officer. Jeanne meets weekly with Barry Russell, the transportation director, Scott Wagner, the food service coordinator, Mike Kanfer, our network services director, and Chris Giard and all of the facilities managers to address the health and safety items in each of these areas. She meets regularly with our COVID19 Health and Safety Coordinator to make sure all areas are covered.

• Our COVID 19 Health and Safety Coordinator is Jocelyn Bouyea. Jocelyn, a long-time school nurse at Shelburne Community School, was appointed to this position in early summer. She meets weekly with Superintendent Pinckney and Director Roy as a sub-group to plan for implementation of the AOE, DOH, and CDC guidance, weekly with COO Jensen, and weekly with the Reopening Coordinating Team. Jocelyn has enlisted the assistance of two pediatricians who are also parents in our district. Drs. Elizabeth Hunt and Leah Costello have graciously and generously volunteered their time to support our efforts and guide our work.

• The Communications Team is led by Bonnie Birdsall, Director of Digital Learning and Communications. Bonnie meets with all the groups regularly and shares information with our communities, our faculty and staff, and our families. She has developed a communication plan and timeline to ensure that our communications are timely and coordinated.
