Victor Central School District has appointed Dr. Megan Molina as its new Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Services.

The appointment was officially approved by the district’s Board of Education on Thursday. Molina will succeed Karyn Ryan, who is retiring at the end of June after helping lead special education programs in both Victor and the West Irondequoit school districts.

“We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Ryan’s leadership as Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Services,” Victor Superintendent Dr. Tim Terranova said in a statement. “Her contributions have been invaluable, and we wish her all the best in her retirement.”

Molina joins Victor from the Elmira Heights Central School District, where she has served as Director of Student Services and CSE/CPSE chairperson since 2021. District officials said she oversaw special education and pupil services programming, expanded opportunities for students, and helped develop work-based learning initiatives.

Before moving into administration, Molina spent eight years as a special education teacher in the Horseheads Central School District. During that time, she also served as a special education department co-chair, instructional coach, and adjunct professor at Elmira College.

Molina also coached varsity softball at Horseheads for four years, leading the team to a sectional championship in 2018.

Terranova praised Molina’s leadership and background in special education, calling her an effective communicator and problem solver who is committed to helping students succeed.

Molina said she is honored to join the Victor district and looks forward to building relationships with students, families, and staff.

“What stands out most about Victor is the district’s dedication to creating meaningful opportunities and supports for all learners,” Molina said in a statement. “I look forward to building strong relationships with students, families, and staff while continuing to strengthen student-centered systems where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.”

Molina earned her doctorate in educational administration from the University of Rochester in 2025. She is expected to begin her new role on July 1.
