Following a leader like Steve Chamberlin as the superintendent of schools is no easy job. Michael Flynn says he’s up to the task.
After a lengthy interview process, Flynn was hired to replace Chamberlin, who has superintendent of Hopkinton schools since 2009. Flynn said he is ready to move the district in a new direction while keeping the values alive from its former superintendent.
“First of all, you don t replace someone like Steve, you don t replace anyone that s been in a district for that long with that type of leadership,” Flynn said. “So certainly, it s going to be my goal to follow him and continue to lead the work that he started,” Flynn said.
