The retirements of Mr. Silveira and Mr. Courville create two important leadership vacancies within our district. To assist in identifying the next principals for the Jr. High School and Hoyle Elementary School, we will be convening search committees composed of representatives from several stakeholder groups. I am seeking volunteers to serve on the Jr. High School Principal Search Committee and the Hoyle Elementary School Principal Search Committee. Each committee will include parents, staff members, and administrators. In addition, the Jr. High School committee will also include student representatives.

By working together, we can ensure that our community remains informed, engaged, and connected to the important work happening in our classrooms and in our district every day.
