From the meeting
The Board of Regents was asked to approve Michael W. St. John III as Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Information Technology Services.
He had served as NYSED's Chief Information Officer since August 2021 and had led enterprise modernization, cybersecurity, and budget planning for major IT initiatives. The role change matters because he already oversees the department's technology roadmap and mainframe modernization work. This is a leadership buying signal for future IT investments and governance.
