Rochester's board of education has formed a search committee to find a permanent superintendent for the City School District.

The contract for Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas is good until June 30th of 2012. The school board has said it hopes to have a new superintendent in place by July 1st.

Tuesday, the board announced its search committee will consist of school board members, parents, and leaders from business, higher education, and government.

The committee did not say when it would hold its first meeting.

It's a project that was about 10 years in the making and right now the Kessler Center in Irondequoit is celebrating its official ribbon cutting.

The Kessler Center is run by the Easter Seals of New York. It's a place for children with disabilities to live and learn every single day.

The progress that one family has seen in their child since he's been at The Kessler Center is nothing short of remarkable.

Thirteen-year-old Joey Piazza has come a long way. He struggles with autism and other developmental and neurological disorders.

He and his family are from the Syracuse area but until now, the only facilities that were able to help Joey were in places like Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Laura Piazza said, “It's so much closer to home.

For 22 years, people of all ages have moved and been moved by the rhythms of Bush Mango Drum and Dance -- a West African drum and dance company. Now it is adding a powerful new beat, thanks to Kerfala "Fana" Bangoura.

He is from Guinea in West Africa and his work is known internationally. Named a Master Drummer and Dancer by his native Guinean Ministry of Culture, the 31 year old has performed for close to 10 years with groups like Les Ballet Africans and Percussions de Guinea.

Fana is the new Musical Director at Bush Mango and what he does is second nature to him. He started playing the West African drum as a child in Guinea.

He says, “When I was growing up, I saw my father performing and drumming. I had that experience in my head and that’s why I started drumming."

Colleen Hendrick, Executive and Artistic Director at Bush Mango, says they are lucky to have him here. His talent is authentic. “When you're working with Fana it's like second nature.
