After serving FPS since 2021, Delgado’s new role was approved unanimously during a vote by the Oakland County School’s Board of Education on July 9.
Reflecting on his tenure at FPS, Delgado expressed his gratitude for the dedicated staff and their hard work in creating positive experiences for students and their families. He confidently stated, “It’s been an honor to serve the FPS community for the past three years… I am extremely grateful to the dedicated staff for their commitment to students and families, and am confident that under our supportive and innovative Board of Education, the future will remain bright in Farmington Public Schools.”
Discussing Delgado’s time at FPS, the President of the FPS Board of Education, Terry Weems, commended him for bringing much-needed stability to the district. She noted Delgado’s knack for forming supportive relationships with students and his regular interactivity within the schools and student events.
