Earlier this month, two members of the Berne-Knox-Westerlo CSD school community were selected by the Capital Area School Development Association (CASDA) to be recognized for their dedication and leadership in education.
The first district candidate to be recognized is Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary Principal Annette Landry. Mrs. Landry will be honored with the 2023 Greater Capital Region Principal Center and the Capital Area School Development Association (CASDA) Principal of the Year Award on Thursday, April 20th, at the CASDA Annual Awards Dinner at the Franklin Terrace in Troy, New York. Principal Landry is described as courageous, creative, and a leader who holds high expectations for all of her students.

In addition, Berne-Knox-Westerlo CSD Board of Education President Matthew Tedeschi will be honored at the same event with the 2023 CASDA Excellence in School Board Service Award.
