Superintendent asks board to observe moment of silence for longtime special‑education teacher Mike Orsi
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Stocks announced the death of Mike Orsi, a 27‑year Keystone Oaks special‑education teacher and coach, and said he will work with the KOEA president and colleagues to plan a memorial.
Superintendent Dr. Stocks opened his report by announcing the death of Keystone Oaks High School special‑education teacher and coach Mike Orsi and asking the board and public to observe a moment of silence.
"I'd like to take a moment at this time to remember, and honor Keystone Oaks High School special education teacher, Mr. Mike Orsi, who unfortunately passed away on October 1," Dr. Stocks said. He summarized Mr. Orsi's 27 years with the district, noting Orsi began teaching at Dorbon Elementary, worked at the middle school and high school, served as a supervisor for summer work programs, coached football and track, and helped students at risk of dropping out.
Dr. Stocks said Orsi had also worked with Project Succeed, had served as KOEA vice president and had been a coordinator when the district was between hires. He said he will consult the KOEA president and others to plan an appropriate memorial and will keep the board and public informed.
The superintendent framed the announcement in the context of multiple recent staff deaths and emphasized allowing time for grieving and then collaborating with colleagues and family to create a memorial that reflects Orsi's impact.
