RSMP PROGRAM MANAGERS

The Program Manager (PM) plays a critical leadership role in the successful planning and delivery of all phases of the Rochester Schools Modernization Program (RSMP). As the RJSCB’s trusted representative, the PM is responsible for day-to-day oversight, coordination, and quality control of all RSMP construction projects and associated activities.

In Phase III, the RJSCB retained Savin Engineers, P.C., a certified New York State MBE, to serve as Program Manager. Savin’s responsibilities include maintaining detailed project schedules, managing the flow of information between consultants and contractors, coordinating submissions to the New York State Education Department (SED), and ensuring compliance with the Phase III Strategic Plan

The PM facilitates collaboration among the architectural, engineering, construction management, and legal teams. Weekly coordination meetings with the Rochester City School District’s (RCSD) Chiefs of Finance and Operations ensure alignment across all financial andconstruction initiatives.

In addition, the PM oversees implementation of the RSMP Diversity Plan, working closely with the Independent Compliance Officer (ICO) to monitor workforce participation and business utilization goals. The PM also supports transparency and accountability by preparing reports, facilitating public information sessions, and coordinating with the RJSCB on project milestones, funding, and communication with stakeholders.

Through strategic leadership and extensive experience in school construction management, the Program Manager continues to ensure that the RSMP delivers safe, modernized, and equitable learning environments for all RCSD students.
