Trisha Livergood

The 2025-2026 school year is my second as a BTA Building Representative for John Kennedy.  I am honored to represent you as a part of the BTA Executive Council.  I have been a Reading Specialist in the Batavia City School District for 20 years and experienced the many shifts in expectations, positions and buildings that have occurred throughout that time (sometimes all in 1 school year).  I taught at the Middle School for 16 years and was moved to John Kennedy with the budget cuts made in 2020.  I am also a mom of college age twins so I fully understand the juggling necessary for working parents. 

In my role as a representative, I utilize my experience and knowledge from my time in both buildings, working with multiple administrators and being a working parent will allow me to represent classroom and special area teachers; as well as the many different interventionists that are members of the Batavia Teachers’ Association at JK.  It is my hope that through this position I can continue to assist my colleagues in ensuring that JK continues to be a building that supports and empowers each other, so that we can all continue to do what is best for our students.
