The Rochester City School District has appointed Dr. Lesli Myers-Small as its next superintendent.

The announcement was made after a Rochester Board of Education meeting Monday afternoon.

Myers-Small is the former leader of the Brockport Central School District and recently accepted a position with the state education department.

"I know that I need to hit the ground running, so I’m looking forward to starting. I don't go into this blindly, but I have extreme faith and very high aspirations for the district, and as long as we're all rolling in the right direction, there's really nothing that we can't accomplish. So I’m just ready to start." Dr. Myers-Small says.
