The Foster School principal search team met last week and identified three candidates to move to the next phase of the process, which will involve meeting with the Central Office team and new Supt. of Schools Dr. Margaret Adams and reference checks.
"We're on target," Asst. Supt. of Schools Jamie LaBillois reported to the School Committee Monday night. "We expect to announce the [final] candidate by the end of March or during April."
While 14 applications were submitted for the Foster principal opening, not as many were submitted for the East School principal position, "but a couple of candidates asked to be in both pools of candidates," he said. The final candidate for East School principal is expected to be announced by the end of April.
"It's exciting that we have so many good candidates," School Committee Chair Kerry Ni said.
