Superintendent's Corner

June 2, 2025

Dear GMRSD Community,

As you may be aware, I am completing my service as the Superintendent of Schools in the Gill-Montague Regional School District on June 30th. I wanted to provide families with an update on the steps that the Gill-Montague School Committee is taking to find the next Superintendent of Schools for our District.

Our Committee has been consulting with representatives from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) and has posted for an Interim Superintendent for the upcoming year. That posting will remain open through next Monday, June 9th. Our School Committee is hoping to interview Interim candidates as soon as MASC has completed their process of screening applications for Interim Superintendent candidates. The interviews for the Interim Superintendent will be held in a posted, open public meeting. The objective of the School Committee is to have an Interim Superintendent appointed and ready to begin by July 1st.

After the School Committee selects and appoints an Interim Superintendent, MASC will guide our School Committee through a full search process during the school year, consistent with timelines that would allow for a full and thorough search for a new Superintendent of Schools.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served as the Superintendent of Schools for the past 5 years, and as a longtime resident of Turners Falls, I will continue to provide support for the transition and for the new Superintendent and School Committee.
 
Sincerely,
Brian Beck
Superintendent of Schools
