Alenson Scholarship Established in Memory of Recently Deceased Technology Director

Alencon — Dan Barbanack spent the last 20 years of his life working at Alancon Public Schools before he died earlier this month.

Verbanac worked for 20 years as the Technology Director at Alencon’s school. Although this was not a teaching role, he still maintained a close relationship with his students, superintendent Rachel Cook said.

“He would tell you he didn’t work with students,” Cook said in an email. If a student forgets their password or their device doesn’t work, go down and see Dan.”

Cook says that each year, teachers invite Barbanack to participate in classroom events, such as carving pumpkins with kindergarteners.
