NORWICH – It’s not often that an organization has the privilege of working with the long-standing leadership of individuals like Dan Marshman and Bob Hall. Both men were so focused on quality, continuous improvement, community collaboration, and, most importantly, students. These two individuals absolutely epitomize the vision, beliefs and quality standards of the DCMO BOCES organization.

Dan Marshman and Bob Hall served their communities and our BOCES in an exemplary fashion. They believed deeply in the power of education. They were convinced that our work at BOCES prepares our youth and our adults to make this area a better place. They gave unselfishly of their time, their ideas, their support, and of themselves. The DCMO BOCES Board of Education commemorates their service through The Marshman-Hall Commitment to Education Award to both memorialize their contributions to our area and to serve as a vehicle for BOCES to annually recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to education in our BOCES region.

The recipient of the eighth annual Marshman-Hall Commitment to Education Award is Carole Stanbro, Principal for Greene Primary School.

Carole Stanbro received this award for having a significant impact on her students and community. She began her career in education as a Special Education teacher at Whitney Point Central School. She started her journey in Greene as the K-2 Principal along with the duty of CSE Chairperson in 1995. The role of CSE Chairperson was made a separate job in 2002 and since then Carole has taken on many other administrative responsibilities. Carole is currently the Curriculum Coordinator for the district.
