Southbridge now has its fifth Superintendent of
Schools in just
over two years.
Ely, Wiggins, Nembirkow, Gardner and now Stanton.
Eric Ely was the last chosen by anything approaching
a community-based process. Even in that case, however, the process was
compromised.
All four have departed under clouds of varying
density and magnitude.
According to today’s Worcester
Telegram Mrs. Stanton has been named “acting superintendent”. (Question to
the chairman, “Is that a legal title?”)
