At the June 5th Board meeting, the Board named John Silveri as Interim Superintendent. Mr. Silveri retired from his position as Superintendent of the Waterford School District in 2015 and has since acted both as the Interim Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources as well as the Interim Deputy Superintendent for School Administration here in Birmingham Public Schools. We believe that as an experienced educational leader and someone who knows our community and culture, Mr. Silveri will provide a seamless leadership transition for our District in the year ahead. John Silveri's career in public education began in 1978 and ended with his retirement in 2015. He served five Metropolitan Detroit area school districts as a teacher, counselor, principal, human resources director, assistant superintendent and superintendent. His 24 years as an administrator in Wayne, Oakland and St. Clair counties included almost 14 years in Allen Park Public Schools, five and a half years as Superintendent of Marysville Public Schools, and nearly five years as Superintendent of Waterford School District. Mr. SIlveri has served as Chairman of a North Central Association visiting accreditation team; and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Marysville Chamber of Commerce, the Waterford Coalition for Youth, The Detroit Metro Bureau and the Board of Education of the St. Clair County Intervention Academy. He has also served as President of the Wayne County Negotiators and Personnel Administrators Association and as President of the Rotary Club of Marysville. His education credentials include a bachelor's degree from Central Michigan University, a master's degree from Eastern Michigan University, and an education specialist degree from Wayne State University. He is a graduate of the MLI Superintendent Preparation Series Academy and the MASA Courageous Journey Program.
