To the editor:

It is an honor and a pleasure to write this letter for Michael Keville in his pursuit of the Madison County Clerk position. I am serving in my second year as the high school principal at Chittenango, however this is my fifth year in the building. In that time, Mr. Keville has been an invaluable resource to aid in my transition. The personal touch he demonstrates with regards to building relationships is outstanding. He goes above and beyond to build a positive school climate.

One of the qualities that have impressed me the most is Mr. Keville’s willingness to do whatever to get the job done right. Whether it is preparing students for exams, leading in his department, reworking our building safety plan or integrating technology in the classroom, his work ethic in unmatched. He has demonstrated an uncanny ability to serve both as the mayor of Chittenango and as a high school teacher.

In my opinion, Mr. Keville would make an excellent county clerk. He is selfless and will do what it takes to make everyone better. I fully support him and am confident he will surpass expectations.
