Barrington school committee accepts superintendent resignation effective immediately

The Barrington School Committee accepted the superintendent's resignation effective immediately and said an interim superintendent will be appointed shortly.

A school committee member thanked the superintendent for service and cited the superintendent's work helping the district manage a recent Title IX investigation. "We thank [the superintendent] for his service to our schools, especially his work in helping our district navigate the recent Title IX investigation with both professionalism and care," the member said. The committee said that the Title IX matter was a complex, sensitive issue and that it was unrelated to the leadership change.

The committee said it remains committed to serving the best interests of students and families during the transition and will announce an interim appointment soon. No details about the interim superintendent or a timeline for a permanent replacement were provided during the meeting.
