CARLISLE — School Committee discusses interim superintendent search and special education staffing challenges. The joint meeting of the School Committee's special education subcommittee and Special Education Parent Advisory Committee focused on interim superintendent search progress, with Regional School Representative Lynette Kelleher noting the position is for a one-year interim role; SEPAC members raised concerns about community input, and Kelleher indicated public comment is welcome and that a future permanent superintendent search will offer more extensive community input. The committee received a progress update on the 2026 Extended School Year program with TimberNook, with several families interested; beginning in FY27, the Facilities Department budget will transition from school district to town management.
Special education stakeholders expressed concerns about decision-making with the director on leave.
