Curriculum & Instruction

Gary Burboa-Reese has worked in the field of education for over 25 years, in roles including special educator, elementary assistant principal, elementary principal, Director of Curriculum, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, and School superintendent.

Outside of his work within the K-12 setting, Gary has taught graduate college courses for individuals obtaining licensure as educators and administrators. He also has participated on a variety of community and human service boards to promote increased opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Gary most enjoys spending time outside of the school day with his three sons.
