Todd Mulvaney, 43, the athletic director and dean of students for the Moravia Central School District, has been selected to become the new executive director of Section III Athletics.
Mulvaney is expected to begin Aug. 16, replacing Interim Executive Director Tamela Ray.
Mulvaney’s announcement comes from the Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Board of Cooperative Educational Services (OCM BOCES), a public education agency that provides shared services for 23 school districts in Central New York. For the first time, the administration of Section III Athletics will fall under the BOCES umbrella, a structure that already exists in most of the 11 athletic sections that comprise the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA). More than 100 high schools are part of Section III, the nonprofit governing body for interscholastic sports.
“OCM BOCES is excited about the upcoming partnership between our organization and Section III Athletics,” said OCM BOCES District Superintendent Matt Cook, Ed.D. “Many of the other sections in New York State have already formed a partnership with a BOCES in their region, and we have learned a lot from their successes along the way.”
Cook cited several benefits of moving the position to OCM BOCES. For example, school districts that share in the administrative costs of Section III will be partially reimbursed with state aid the following year, just as they do for other shared services at BOCES. In addition, districts will pay a set fee for each varsity sport and also receive state aid. Cook added that, by working with BOCES, Mulvaney will become part of a 75-year-old organization that’s dedicated to the overall welfare of students in the region, working with educators, school leaders and community partners on a day-to-day basis.
Before hiring Mulvaney, OCM BOCES worked closely with Section III to hammer out the details of the new structure and partnership.
