The Niskayuna Central School District has selected Granville supervisor John Rabine as its Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.

The Board of Education appointed Rabine at its July 11 meeting. The appointment was effective July 25.

"Mr. Rabine comes to our district with extensive maintenance and construction experience. His can-do attitude and enthusiasm for excellence motivates others around him," said Superintendent Kevin Baughman. "I am excited to welcome John to our district."

Rabine succeeds Bob Rossi, who retired in July after 8 years of service to the district. Baughman's recommendation to appoint Rabine followed an extensive search process.

Rabine was previously superintendent of buildings and grounds for the Granville Central School District for four years, and during that time was clerk of the works for a $2 million roofing project, and worked on a $17.6 million building project. Previously Rabine was a maintenance mechanic for the Glens Falls City School District and custodian for the Glens Falls and Queensbury school districts. He was also a security specialist for the United States Air Force.

Rabine is a New York State licensed asbestos supervisor, inspector and management planner.
