Magda ParveyHANDOUT
Parvey, currently chief academic officer in the Middletown, Conn., public schools, will assume her new position on July 1. The School Committee voted unanimously on April 29 to enter into a three-year contract with Parvey after appointing her to the role April 12.
Sheldon Berman, who had been Andoverâs superintendent since 2015, resigned last Dec. 31 to relocate to the Pacific Northwest. Claudia Bach, Andoverâs former superintendent, has served as interim superintendent since Jan. 1.
Prior to her current position, Parvey was interim superintendent in New Rochelle, N.Y., and assistant superintendent for instructional services in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools District in North Carolina.

Andover High will reopen to students for full-time classroom learning on May 17, school officials said.
Parents will decide whether their children will attend classes at the school five days per week or instead do remote learning from home the rest of the school year, officials said. The school district is sending a survey to parents asking about their choice between classroom and remote learning, and also their opinions on other school issues, said Superintendent Claudia Bach.
When the state ordered that students must return to classrooms full time by May 17 or choose full-time remote learning instead, Andover school officials said they would not seek a waiver to allow students to continue hybrid learning. During the pandemic, most Andover students used the hybrid program â a mix of days in classrooms and remote learning.
