Literacy Coalition Selects Dunn

January 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

First Executive Director is retired Morrisville-Eaton teacher from Eaton

(Madison County, NY – Jan. 2012) Retired Morrisville-Eaton English teacher Jay Dunn has been selected as the first executive director of the Madison County Literacy Coalition, a collaborative effort between education, government, social services and community agencies in Madison County.

Dunn taught English at Morrisville-Eaton High School for 34 years and retired in June. During his teaching career, he taught a wide range of courses and programs, from reading remediation to Advanced Placement. He also led a college and career preparation program for high school seniors that provided assistance with college applications and career choices as well as meaningful job shadowing experience.

Through these efforts, Dunn became familiar with many of the agencies, businesses and organizations in the community that he will work with through the Literacy Coalition.

Dunn is a resident of Eaton. He holds a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Oneonta and both a master’s degree and certificate of advanced study from SUNY Oswego. His wife is a retired English teacher from Stockbridge Valley and his two daughters are graduates of Morrisville-Eaton High School.

The Literacy Coalition formed in 2009 when more than 50 organizations across Madison County – including schools, businesses, non-profit agencies, health care providers and local governments – resolved to improve literacy at all age levels in their community. The Coalition’s first focus area is early literacy (children through grade 3), but they also plan to address issues related to older children, adults, families and the workforce.

Madison-Oneida BOCES is a member of the Coalition’s Managing Partners Board. Other board members include: Oneida Public Library, Mid-York Library System, CNY Community Foundation, Colgate University, Head Start, Canastota Literacy Tutors, Madison County Board of Supervisors, Madison County Public Health, the Canastota school district and the Morrisville-Eaton school district.

Madison Hall Receives Community Foundation Grant

January 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

(Morrisville, NY – Jan. 2012) A $20,000 grant from the Central New York Community Foundation was awarded to Madison Hall in Morrisville to support continued renovations on the historic facility. The grant will be used to rebuild the back staircase, handrail, electrical, lighting and ceiling finish.

Madison Hall, a Madison County Landmark since 1817 and the original county courthouse, stands on upper Main Street, State Route 20 in Morrisville. Madison Hall is under continuous renovation. In recent years the front portico pillar foundations were rebuilt, twin matching stairways were refinished and floors in the ballroom and hallways returned to hardwood. This past summer a new roof was built over the handicap ramp, the building repainted, chandelier and hallway lighting installed.

The building became The New York State School of Agriculture (now Morrisville State College) in 1909 when the courthouse moved to Wampsville. In the late 1970′s a group of concerned citizens acquired the building from Morrisville State College and started restoration of the facility. After various grants and community donations, the building has become a multi-cultural, multi-functional building serving communities in Central New York for weddings, dances, concerts, and etc.

Pictures of the building and a calendar of events can be seen at madisonhall.org.
