The Rochester school board has selected Beatriz LeBron, a community health worker with Rochester Regional Health, and Melanie Funchess, director of community engagement with the Mental Health Association, for positions on the board.
They’ll be officially appointed at the board’s January 25 meeting, filling positions vacated by Malik Evans, who became a member of the Rochester City Council this month, and Mary Adams, who announced her resignation earlier this week.
LeBron ran unsuccessfully for the school board in the September Democratic Primary. She will be the board’s only Latinx member.

Do these two appointed RCSB members have any teaching experience?
Who on the existing RCSB has any teaching experience, besides, Comm. White?
Why not? What do they know about the teaching and learning experiences?

I have taught in the district bilingual special education, I also oversee a 20 week children’s leadership program with new cohorts every year, working with students and their parents from schools all over the district. In addition Natalie Sheppard is an adjunct professor at Roberts Weslyan and I believe Liz Hallmark also has teaching and curriculum experience. I also have been a parent in the district for over 16+ years. Have 2 girls who have graduated from RCSD and one left in 1st grade in the district. I hope this helps answer some of your questions.
