master’s degree in educational leadership and super- vision. He completed his doctoral work in educational leadership and policy at the University of Buffalo. Prior to Brighton, McGowan was the superintendent
at Warsaw Central School District from 2006 to 2009. He said his current initiatives are based on Brighton’s rigor- ous strategic planning process. “They include work directly related to family and
