In 2005, some district members accused Superintendent Annemarie Spadafora of sexual harassment. The claims were investigated by the District and found to be unfounded; an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint was settled. In December 2006, Spadafora retired and the Board named Phillip W. Langton as acting superintendent. On June 13, 2007, the Board named former CCCSD student Pamela Kissel as Superintendent. Kissel was the assistant superintendent for instruction and support for the Monroe BOCES 2 and, prior to that, principal at Penfield High School.^[4]
