​BCSD Board of Ed Appoints the District’s Next Superintendent

Last night, the Bedford Central School District Board of Education appointed Dr. Robert Glass as the district’s next superintendent, effective July 1, 2022.

Before introducing Dr. Glass, Board President John Boucher thanked Superintendent Dr. Joel Adelberg, who is retiring at the end of June.

“I want to take a moment to personally thank you, Joel, for all you've done for the district for all of these years,” he said, noting Dr. Adelberg’s time as principal at Fox Lane High School, as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction and as superintendent of schools.

Afterward, Boucher introduced Dr. Glass to the community members, administrators and staff in attendance and invited him to say a few words.

“It says a lot about who you are as a school district — the warm welcome you’ve extended, the thorough process that you went through, the way Joel has reached out to me to give me background,” Dr. Glass said. “It speaks to the importance of the culture that you've established here that I have great respect for.”

Dr. Glass went on to talk about how he envisions his first few months with the district.

“I see my role coming in as really learning everything I can about the great things you've done, and asking a lot of really good questions and trying to understand as much as I can,” he said. “While that will be very structured, very transparent and very intentional, I want you also to know that I'm looking forward to following the trail where it leads me so that I can learn things that I don't know now and be able to construct a future with you together.”
