The Rochester City School District congratulates Board of Education President Cynthia Elliott for her appointment as Vice-Chairperson of the Conference of Big 5 School Districts.

The Conference of Big 5 School Districts is a membership organization representing New York State’s urban school systems, including the Buffalo, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers, Albany, Mount Vernon and Utica districts. Collectively, 46% of the State’s public school children are educated in these districts. The Conference of Big 5 School Districts has been advocating and promoting urban educational issues before federal, State and local entities since 1958.

President Elliott was first elected to the Rochester Board of Education in 2006. She has over 45 years of experience serving as a community activist and is dedicated to representing the economically and socially disadvantaged children and families of Rochester and across the State. She began her career at the age of 19 at the FIGHT organization, where she participated in voter registration drives, political campaigns, and various advocacy efforts.

President Elliott holds an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts from Monroe Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from St. John Fisher University, a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from SUNY Brockport, and a Master’s Degree in Human and Organizational Systems from Fielding Graduate University.

Please join us in congratulating President Elliott on this prestigious appointment.

To celebrate the RCSD’s Summer of Discovery, the District is highlighting staff members who support our summer learning programming.

Ms. Elizabeth Cross is the summer school principal for ROC Summer Arts at Anna Murray-Douglass School No.12. An Assistant Principal at Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No 19, Ms. Cross is overseeing 350 students enrolled in a program that engages students in accelerated learning through multiple experiences in music, dance, visual and digital arts.

“ROC Summer Arts has given me the opportunity to work with students and staff from many schools across the District,” said Cross. “I have been able to continue my work around the importance of arts in education and how it supports students’ engagement, social-emotional well-being, and achievement in school.”

Ms. Cross has spent her entire career in the Rochester City School District. She started as a 1:1 paraprofessional at then Chester Dewey School No. 14, and she later became a classroom teacher at Virgil I. Grissom School No. 7 in 2005. Since then, she has been an intervention teacher and an instructional coach at The Children’s School of Rochester No. 15, Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19, and Adlai E. Stevenson School No. 29.

Please join us in applauding Ms. Cross for her efforts to help RCSD scholars succeed!
