The last of the traditional school district, Woodbridge School District is another one of the “cross-county” districts. They are a growing district. They also have a Superintendent with a name that sounds like a movie star: Heath Chasanov. I’ve written a billion of these salary posts so I feel I ‘m allowed a bit of humor as I approach the finish line. But I digress. Woodbridge is also home to someone I admire, Michele Marinucci. The district’s special education coordinator, along with State Rep. Kim Williams, got the Special Education Strategic Plan formed into a cohesive committee that is doing great things for special education in Delaware. Chasanov has been commended by the Delaware Dept. of Education for the district’s growth on the Smarter Balanced Assessment. Not my cup of tea, but it keeps them in the spotlight.
