GUILDERLAND — Dr. Demian Singleton, a longtime Guilderland Central School District teacher, administrator and colleague, died on Monday, Oct. 18.
School administrators shared the news with the district the following day on Tuesday, Oct. 19.
“We are profoundly saddened by the passing of Dr. Singleton,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Marie Wiles. “Not just a colleague, but a friend as well, Demian touched every corner of GCSD.
