Executive Secretary Appointment

TO:    BPS Community

FROM:    Elizabeth Reilinger, Chairperson

SUBJECT:   Executive Secretary appointment

On behalf of the Boston School Committee, I am pleased to report that we have hired a new Executive Secretary. Beginning August 25, Laurie A. Ciardi will oversee management of the School Committee office.

Laurie brings to this position a unique blend of experience in public education and municipal government. Laurie most recently has been a teacher at the J.M. Curley Elementary School and is very familiar with many of the education reform efforts underway in BPS. This summer she will earn a Master's in Education degree from Lesley University. Laurie previously worked in various other City departments, including the Mayor's Office and the Commissioner's Office in Parks and Recreation, where she gained valuable experience and skill in policy development, project management, event planning, and community relations.

We are confident that Laurie will become a valuable contributor to our education reform efforts. Please join us in welcoming her to Court Street.
