Tina Conklin
28 years at CV; Middle School ELA teacher, Instructional Coach, and English Department Instructional Leader
I am proud to have invested my professional life in this school and community. The staff, students, parents, and community, care deeply about this district and the quality of education here. I am so proud to have grown with this community and to have contributed to what makes it great. I plan to explore new professional pathways and see more of the world. Most importantly, I will be spending more time with my beautiful family.
Deb Lally
I have worked at CV for 18 years (since 2005-06). I was first hired as a middle school science teacher, then a middle school counselor, and am now a middle/high school counselor. I am so grateful to be a part of the counseling staff here. It is the most amazing group of people who all bring their best to students every day. The Chenango Valley community is like no other. The way the entire community supports one another is so beautiful, and the staff at CV are exceptional in every way. After retiring, I plan to travel as much as possible and spend time with my family.
Sue Ticknor
I’ve been here for over 11 years as Supervisor of Transportation. I’m proud to be a Warrior because this is a wonderful district to work at. The support of the district is wonderful and the way everyone here helps each other is awesome. Each department does its best to help another department when there is a need; this doesn’t happen at a lot of schools. I have been honored to work here and get to know the people that make Chenango Valley an awesome place to be!
