Dr. Jumbelic Speaks to Forensics Class at High School
On December 18, 2023 Dr. Mary Jumbelic came to speak to Leandra Kovalchik's forensics class. She is an author from Central New York, and a former chief medical examiner of Onondaga County.
A board-certified forensic pathologist, she has performed thousands of autopsies during her 25-year career. She has received awards for her work from the National Transportation Safety Board and the New York State Senate, and has been recognized as a trailblazer by the National Organization of Women. As an expert witness, she has appeared on numerous national broadcasts, most recently Dateline and 48 hours.
In retirement, Mary has published many non-fiction stories, accounts of her life both in and out of the morgue. She also teaches writing, and enjoys sharing her expert tips for a great crime novel or pathology mystery, which made her a wonderful speaker for the forensics students who were very interested in her story.

West Genesee Intermediate School teacher Jacqueline Mills has recently achieved National Board Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). Her certification area is in the category of Science/Early Adolescence.
To earn certification from the NBPTS, successful candidates spend between 200 and 400 hours, over a year or more, in an extensive series of performance-based assessments that include teaching portfolios, students’ work samples, video recordings, and a thorough analysis of the candidate’s classroom teaching and student learning.
Teachers also complete a series of written exercises that probe the depth of their subject-matter knowledge, as well as their understanding of how to teach those subjects to their students.
