Niagara-Wheatfield Board of Education members voted unanimously to hire a new assistant superintendent for instruction Wednesday night.
Jennifer Curci was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by Michelle A. Spasiano, who left the district in September to become a superintendent in Franklinville. Curci will be paid an annual base salary of $100,000.
School Superintendent Carl Militello introduced Curci to board members during their meeting and described the new hire as a “humanist with high intellectual ability ... who understands what it is like to be in the classroom.”
Curci had most recently worked as principal of Orchard Park Middle School. She also served as an assistant middle school principal for eight years in the Williamsville School District and started her career as a teacher in Lancaster.
She said she’s been looking for an opportunity to advance her career and take on an administrative role for a school district.
“This is just the perfect fit,” she said after the meeting.
In other personnel matters, school board members were introduced to new West Street Elementary School Assistant Principal Charles Smilinich.
