Northville Public Schools have a new
director of operations.
District officials have hired Steven
Banchero for the position, replacing
Chris Gearns who announced his retire-
ment after 20 years at the helm of the
Maintenance
and
Operations
Department for the district.
During the two decades of his leader-
ship, Gearns oversaw building mainte-
nance during periods of significant
reductions in school funding, assisted
with the transition to contracting of trans-
portation and custodial services, and pro-
vided leadership in the implementation
of Sinking Fund dollars toward facility
needs, explained Superintendent of
SchoolsMaryKayGallagher.
She said that following a thorough
search and interview process, the district
selected Banchero for the director's posi-
tion.
Banchero comes to Northville Public
Schools with 18 years of experience as a
construction project manager for
McCarthy & Smith, Inc., in Farmington
Hills, specializing in the planning, budg-
eting, and construction of educational
facilities, Gallagher said. Banchero has a
bachelor's degree from Michigan
Technological University and a master's
degree fromEasternMichiganUniversity
in Civil Engineering and Construction
Management.
“Steve is a Northville community
member and school parent, who most
recently volunteered his time and expert-
ise in co-chairing the district Facility
Review/Bond Study Committee. His
expertise in facilities and construction
will be of great benefit to the district as
we move forward with the implementa-
tion of Bond 2017 projects, and in over-
seeing facility operations and mainte-
nance district-wide,”Gallagher said.
“As we welcome Steve to the
Northville Public Schools team, I also
want to take the opportunity to thank
Chris Gearns for his 20 years of service,
and his gracious offer to make himself
available as needed to support the transi-
tionprocess,” she concluded.
