During its July 20 meeting, the F-M Board of Education approved hiring Kevin Sommer, as the district’s next assistant superintendent for business services.
Sommer currently serves as the School Business Administrator at the Tully Central School District. In this role, he manages the general fund budget, supervises all business office functions including maintenance, transportation, technology and food service, is responsible for accounting, auditing and reporting to the New York State Education Department, and maintains oversight of capital improvement projects.
“Mr. Sommer’s track record of fiscal responsibility, teamwork, collaboration and supervision of business office operations aligns ideally with the current needs of the Fayetteville-Manlius School District” according to Superintendent Parvey. “His reputation of integrity, continuous improvement and mentoring will build upon the demonstrated excellence of our business office. I am confident in his ability to maintain and improve upon our long history of fiscal responsibility to our community and to lead his department with the best interests of our students and staff in mind.”
Prior to serving in Tully, Sommer served in a similar capacity at the Oriskany Central School District. Sommer holds a certificate of advanced study in school district business leadership from Syracuse University, a master of science degree in secondary education from St. Bonaventure University. Sommer holds a New York State professional certificate in school district business leadership and New York State permanent certificates in earth science secondary education, biology secondary education and general science secondary education.
“Joining the Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District as the Assistant Superintendent for Business Services is both an honor and an exciting opportunity to contribute to a tradition of academic excellence and strong community support. With nearly 24 years of experience as an educator and administrator, I offer a unique perspective that bridges instructional leadership with rigorous fiscal responsibility.” Sommer said. “As I step into this role at F-M, my immediate priority is to listen, learn, and collaborate with district leadership, staff, and community members. Together, we will ensure that our resources are maximized and our fiscal foundation is solid in order to support the future of all F-M students.”
Superintendent Parvey accepted the resignation of Bradley Corbin, the current assistant superintendent for business services, effective August 7, 2026. The board of education approved the resignation at their July 6 meeting. “I am grateful for Mr. Corbin’s work and leadership to advance our capital projects and for his careful attention to the fiscal health of our district.” Parvey said.
“It has been a privilege to work for Fayetteville-Manlius,” Corbin said. “I am grateful for the team of professionals at F-M that have supported the work of the business office, I am confident that their exceptional work will continue.”
