Curtis appointment as superintendent creates vacancy in central office, uncertainty on School Committee

PITTSFIELD — As city leaders look toward filling several key school district positions, several more community leaders have voiced dissent with the School Committee’s superintendent decision. Joseph Curtis, who joined the district in 1994, was serving as deputy superintendent for about five years before the committee tapped him last year to serve as interim chief, and then this week, the permanent superintendent. Pittsfield High Principal Henry Duval was picked for interim deputy superintendent position under Curtis, and told The Eagle Friday he plans to resume his PHS post. “My intention is to be back at Pittsfield High School next year,” said Duval.

Pittsfield School Committee picks Curtis for superintendent post; Powell quits in protest

PITTSFIELD — The Pittsfield School Committee voted narrowly Wednesday to offer the superintendent position to Joe Curtis, prompting the public resignation of committee member Dennis Powell. By a slim majority, four people on the elected seven-member committee voted to offer the Pittsfield Public Schools’ top job to Curtis, the interim superintendent, who officially has accepted, according to Chairwoman Katherine Yon. The committee now must negotiate a contract. Mayor Linda Tyer, also a School Committee member, joined William Cameron, Daniel Elias and Yon in throwing their support behind the longtime Pittsfield Public Schools administrator and former Morningside Community School principal. Tyer, who Yon appointed to serve on the 23-member search committee, said Curtis has “all of the personal and professional qualities and character traits needed for leadership.”

Pittsfield School Committee Taps Curtis For Permanent Superintendent, Prompting A Resignation

4:14 The Pittsfield, Massachusetts school committee chose a new permanent superintendent Wednesday, prompting one member of the body – Berkshire County’s NAACP chapter president – to resign in protest. Dennis Powell abruptly resigned from the committee just after a 4-3 vote to pick interim superintendent Joe Curtis for the job running the county’s largest school district at a virtual meeting. “I just felt right from the very beginning, that the whole process was rigged, said Powell. “From the selection of the consultant, from the way the search committee was formed, to Joe Curtis stating that he was not going to run for the position and requiring that the school committee give him a contract that promised he would be able to go back as the deputy when a superintendent was selected. And we had no prior knowledge that he had changed his mind and was going to go for the position until we received the applications from the consultant.”
