Boston Superintendent Search: Superintendent Carol Johnson (2007-2013)

The City of Boston has a new mayor, and Mayor Wu and her appointed school committee have begun a search for a new Superintendent of Boston Public Schools. Boston has had 6 superintendents in 16 years - three of whom served Interim roles - and all who worked tirelessly on behalf of students, families and staff to improve aspects of BPS.    What type of leader does BPS need now? What are the city’s priorities for our public school system? Who can be successful in the role? What can Bostonians do to make the next Superintendent’s term impactful and successful?    In this special series of “Last Night at School Committee,” we bring together more than a dozen community leaders, as well as all 6 superintendents from the last 16 years, and ask them to weigh in on these questions.   In the previous episode of this special series, Jill and Ross were joined by Mike Contompasis. In this episode, Jill and Ross are joined by Carol Johnson, who served as Superintendent of Boston Public Schools from 2007 to 2013.    To learn more and view the full series, please visit BostonSuperintendent.com Learn more about your ad choices.
