Boston School Superintendent Reorganizes District Administration

Marie Szaniszio:

Five months after taking over as Boston public schools superintendent, Carol R. Johnson last night proposed a shakeup in her administration to close the achievement gap among students and ensure “graduation for all.”

Under her plan, a new office will focus on closing the achievement gap between black and Hispanic students and their white and Asian peers, as well as the performance gaps between rich and poor, between male and female, and between English and non-English speaking students.

The superintendent also announced a reorganization of the district’s administration, including the appointment of a new chief academic officer and five academic superintendents to supervise and support school principals.

James McIntyre, currently Boston's Chief Operating Officer, was a finalist for the Madison Superintendent position.

The article includes quite a few local comments.
