Committee to decide whether to search for a new superintendent
What happened
The June 24, 2026 agenda asks the School Committee to choose a path for the superintendent's job: hire Interim Superintendent Latifah Phillips directly, run a search that lets her apply, or run a search that excludes her.
Why it matters to families
Whoever leads next year inherits the Morningside closure, the middle-school restructuring, and a tight budget. How the committee fills the job, and whether it searches at all, decides who is accountable for those decisions going forward.
The evidence
The June 24, 2026 agenda lists 'Conduct Superintendent Search' with three options: '1. Hire Interim Superintendent Phillips 2. Search, allowing Interim Superintendent Phillips to apply 3. Search, not allowing Interim Superintendent Phillips to apply.'
