Statement by State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia on the Passing of Schodack CSD Superintendent Bob Horan

The death of Superintendent Bob Horan is a heartbreaking loss not only for the Schodack Central School District community, but for the New York State schools community as a whole.  Bob was a passionate educator who always thought of the future of his students.  He tackled each day with his optimistic approach, seeing opportunities where others might see problems.  In my personal dealings with Bob, I found he was a true leader and wonderfully kind person.  He will be greatly missed.
