Dec. 8, 2011—Schalmont Board of Education member Sandra Beloncik was part of a delegation of area educators traveling to China in November in an effort to further the educational and cultural ties between the two countries.

Beloncik joined 18 other educators from several area school districts, as well as Capital Region BOCES and Questar III BOCES, on the trip to the Far East. Their goal was to build upon the memorandum of understanding that was reached between Tech Valley High School and Tianjin High School No. 41 in Tianjin, China.

While there, the American delegation witnessed the country’s educational system firsthand.
