Michael Mansfield

The Dunkirk Board of Education approved Michael Mansfield’s employment agreement as district business administrator Tuesday.

Mansfield is currently both superintendent and business administrator of the Dunkirk school district, but will leave the superintendent position as of July 1. Terms of his new employment agreement were not disclosed.

The district wants to replace Mansfield internally. Board of Education President Kenneth Kozlowski had some comments on the matter Tuesday.

Kozlowski said.

Kozlowski encouraged candidates to quickly send letters of intent to District Clerk Tara Jakse

He added,

Kozlowski and Mansfield planned to meet with State Senator George Borrello and State Assemblyman Andrew Molitor Friday about state budget issues. Kozlowski said special education costs are rising faster than state aid,

The Dunkirk district’s duo will also discuss a source of frustration among many local school officials: New York state’s mandate that all schools convert to electric buses.

Kozlowski said,
