GREENFIELD The School Committee has agreed to terms with The Management Solution Inc. for extended services, so it won’t only provide the district with its business manager, but also a lead administrator and two superintendent-licensed consultants until Superintendent Jordana Harper can return to her duties.
Dr. Judy Houle will be the Greenfield School Department’s lead administrator, managing the day-to-day operations at the superintendent level, while Nadine Ekstrom and Allen Himmelberger will serve as consultants.
School Committee Chair Amy Proietti said the agreement is on a month-to-month basis. It will end when Harper who hasn’t been “actively working” for about a month returns to duty. Until then, the new arrangement will cost about $10,000 a month.
