LE ROY — In October 1928, the streets of Le Roy grounded to a standstill.

The three-day grand opening of the airport located on Asbury Road beginning on Oct. 12 caused the streets to become jammed as 64,000 people tried to get a glimpse of the most modern and well-equipped private airports in the world at the time.

“You could not move in Le Roy, there was so many cars coming out,” said Lynne Belluscio, Le Roy historian. “Newspaper accounts said the only way you could get to the airport was getting out of your car and walking.”

There were four runways and the hangar was large enough to house the Tri Motor Fokker, the Friendship, and 15 small planes. The roof of the

In those moments, the school’s administrators and teachers looking on saw someone who could not only make their students laugh and ask questions, they also saw in him a potential ally who has the power to make positive policy shifts in education across the commonwealth.

He also heard from local public school leaders on the issues of declining enrollment, a rising range of student needs and the desire for a state funding formula that drives more equity into the delivery and distribution of high-quality instruction and resources.

“I’m looking for a sense of school climate. I’m looking for engagement and is [instruction] related to state standards and how it’s relating to students’ abilities,” he said. “We kind of lost our way on that and we need to get back to focus on good teaching.”

Learning should be fun

Riley’s interactions with teachers and students at Colegrove Park Elementary were the highlight of the commissioner’s visit, for everyone involved it seemed. He first visited Elizabeth “Betsy” Elder’s kindergarten class, where a pair of children
