Heath Brook School announces Megan Corcoran as new principal at school committee meeting

In the heart of Tewksbury, the School Committee meeting buzzed with discussions that could shape the future of local education. Among the key topics was a proposal to share firewall access with the town, a move aimed at cutting costs. However, Jason Stamm, the director overseeing technology, quickly clarified that this idea would not be feasible. Due to E-rate regulations, which provide funding for educational internet services, sharing resources with a non-educational entity would violate the program's rules. While the committee had hoped to find savings, this avenue was closed.

As the meeting progressed, excitement filled the room with the announcement of a new principal for Heath Brook School. Megan Corcoran, whose impressive background includes roles as a teacher, principal, and district curriculum leader, was officially introduced to the staff. Her experience promises to bring fresh perspectives to the school, and she is set to join the committee for a more detailed introduction at the upcoming meeting on April 30.

These discussions reflect the committee's ongoing commitment to navigating financial challenges while ensuring strong leadership in schools. As Tewksbury Public Schools continues to adapt, the community watches closely, eager to see how these decisions will impact their children’s education.
