Bob Joseph/WNBF News [file][/caption]The new school year is gearing up and the President of the Catholic Schools of Broome County, Richard Bucci is the guest on the September 5 and September 12 edition of the weekly, local public affairs program, Southern Tier Close Up.

Bucci talks about several issues concerning current education issues ranging from State evaluations to Common Core and parochial schools vs. public schools, as Bucci worked in the administration at the Vestal School District before moving to Broome Catholic Schools.

Bucci had been serving as the principal of Seton Catholic Central High School and district president for several years before being moved exclusively into the president's job.  Bucci says the district is very close to naming a new principal for the high school.

Southern Tier Close Up can be heard Saturday afternoons at 12:10 on News Radio 1290 WNBF.
