PITTSFIELD â After receiving backlash from some and support from others, the School Committee last week formalized its decision to get students back into classrooms by the end of the month.
But first, families will get a breather during February break this week. But while Pittsfield Public Schools pauses for vacation, the effort to find and then whittle down the field of applicants vying to become the districtâs permanent next superintendent continues.
The 23-member Superintendent Search Committee, led by Chairperson Will Singleton, is scheduled to interview candidates three separate executive sessions this week. The task at hand for the group of educators and community members picked to get first pass on the applicants is to develop a list of three to five top candidates for the School Committee to interview, then make their top pick, with the goal of onboarding the next permanent schools chief by July 1.
