PITTSFIELD â As the School Committee prepares to make its next big hiring decision, voters are getting an early look at which candidates they could choose to hire to represent them in city affairs.
But before that happens, educators will welcome hundreds of elementary students back to classrooms five days a week starting Monday, and work was set to continue over the weekend to modify lunch areas and otherwise ready the buildings for full-time, in-person learning â for the first time in more than a year.
After conducting virtual âsiteâ visits with four finalists for the Pittsfield Public School superintendent position, School Committee members are gearing up to grill the candidates during final interviews at special public meetings on April 12 and 13. The candidates have gone through initial closed-door interviews, but this time, the public is invited to tune in and watch starting at 5 p.m. both evenings.
