Superintendent Francis Takes on Paraeducator Role at Burton

During the Berkley Schools staff opening day celebration on August 22, 2024, Superintendent Scott Francis and the District administrators auctioned a “Substitute for the Day” for seven staff members - those leaders would take the place of the lucky winner for the day and the staff member would get a vacation day.

On April 2, 2025, Superintendent Francis spent his day at Burton filling in for paraeducator Melissa Sheridan. Mr. Francis supported students in Stacey Reynolds’ class as his substitute role. 

Superintendent Francis shared with Ms. Reynolds, “I'm so glad that Melissa’s name was pulled to allow me to sub in your room. It truly was a rewarding experience for me and such a helpful reminder of the important and challenging work you and our paras do every day.”
