Board of Education

Andrew Henty and his wife, Kim, moved to Baldwinsville in 2016, after living nearly his entire life in the Liverpool area. They have 2 grown sons with families of their own now, one currently living in Radisson and the other in Liverpool.

Andrew attended SUNY at Buffalo State earning a Bachelor’s degree in Business Studies. He has worked for medical device companies including St. Jude Medical and Medtronic for 25 years. The last 13 years before retirement Andrew was the CEO/President of Medisource Management. Andrew has always been committed to serving his community. Specifically, from 1993-2001 he served on the Liverpool Central School District Board of Education, his final years he served as Vice President. Other community positions include serving on the YMCA North Board, as well a Director for the Optimist Basketball League. He is also an active member of Christ the King Church volunteering his time to several ministries including the Food Pantry. Andrew was a Pastoral Council member as well.

Wayne Davison Jr. and his son, Owen, have been proud members of the Baldwinsville community since
2008. His son was a part of the Baldwinsville Headstart program and Wayne quickly became involved as a Bus Aide and President of the Parent Group. He stayed involved within the community as a volunteer and coach for Baldwinsville Little League, B’Ville Sting, BYSA, YMCA and Upward Sports at Northside Baptist Church. Also, he would volunteer for the Baldwinsville Marching Band and the Baldwinsville Theater Program as his son became an active member of the Baldwinsville Music Department.

He has been a dedicated employee at Rapid Response Monitoring since 2004, holding positions as Alarm dispatcher, Shift Trainer, Shift Supervisor and Workforce Management Analyst. Wayne studied Elementary Education and Communications at SUNY Cortland, where he worked as a Teaching Assistant at Here We Grow Child Care Center. Additionally, he wrote for the school newspaper and was an executive board member, Station Manager and Student Government Representative of the school radio station. 

In 2016, my wife (a teacher), along with our two children, moved to Baldwinsville.  We came to the district because of the exemplary and outstanding education the school district offered, along with its inclusive Special Education Program.

I was born and raised in Central New York. In high school I became an Eagle Scout and participated on the varsity swim team while working as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and pre-competitive swim coach. During high school, through college, and after, I also worked as a lighting designer and a technical theater manager for their theater programs.

I have a Bachelors in Science in Biology from SUNY Geneseo and a Bachelors in Science in Respiratory Care from SUNY Upstate Medical University.

Professionally, I am a Critical Care Flight Paramedic Respiratory Therapist and Clinical Base Supervisor. I have worked in Emergency Medical Services as a provider, educator, and management leader for the past 20 years.

I served on the Jowonio School Board as the Treasurer, financial committee chair, and personnel committee member as well as was a member of the executive committee during my daughter’s preschool years. During my time on the board, I worked with a multitude of people, resources, and talent to accomplish tremendous growth and support to the students, staff, and school. I collaboratively worked to develop a successful budget that met the needs of the students, staff, and school. 

I am very supportive of our district’s academics and vested in Baldwinsville’s special education program, as those with special needs hold a special place in my heart. I have overcome many challenges and critical situations throughout my life and career.  I have been able to manage these situations with critical thinking, thinking strategically, as well as creating realistic and actionable plans to solve or capitalize on the opportunities presented. I look forward to continuing the success of the Baldwinsville School District with the opportunity to join the School Board.  My knowledge, commitment, and experiences can provide a beneficial and meaningful contribution to the school board.
