Good
afternoon. I write to inform you that the Director of Special Education &
Pupil Personnel Services Search Committee has completed their work and has
forwarded two finalists to my office for consideration.
I
am pleased to let you know the two finalists for this position are current
South River School (SRS) Principal Amy Scolaro and Stoughton’s Administrator of
Special Education, Heather Tucker. Both finalists have tremendous
academic backgrounds, with extensive teaching and leadership experience in
special education settings.
For
the past six years, Ms. Scolaro has been Principal at the SRS and prior to that
she served five years as a Principal in the Abington school district. She
has sixteen years of teaching experience, with a focus in the area of special
education at the elementary level.
Ms.
Tucker has been the Administrator of Special Education for the past eight years
and prior to that she served for two years as the Assistant Administrator of Special
Education in Stoughton. Her classroom teaching experience for ten years
was focused in special education in private and public settings.
Both
finalists have met with me and they had additional meetings with the District
Leadership Team. I hope to announce who the next Director will be by the
end of next week.
I
want to thank the members of our search committee for their hard work and the
