Letter from Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Superintendent Regarding Search
June 4, 2026: Search Update
The SJCSD BOE appointed Thomas Turck to serve as Interim Superintendent following Christina Chamberlain’s departure in August.
The Board engaged in a thoughtful process focused on identifying a leader who could provide stability, experience, and a strong understanding of school district leadership during this transition period. Board members were particularly impressed by Mr. Turck’s experience as a retired superintendent from the Homer Central School District, a district similar in size and demographics to South Jefferson. In addition, he is currently completing a one-year interim superintendent role at the Moravia Central School District in the Finger Lakes region.
The Board also valued his familiarity with the North Country and our region. As a graduate of Thousand Islands Central School District, he understands the character, values, and strengths of rural school communities and the importance of strong relationships with students, staff, families, and the broader community.
