Board welcomes Jackie Davis as director of climate and student supports and Anthony Brooks as assistant superintendent
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Schwartz introduced and the board appointed Jackie Davis as director of climate and student supports and Anthony Brooks as assistant superintendent; both were welcomed back to Waterbury Public Schools.
The Board of Education on Sept. 4 heard introductions and appointments for two senior district roles: Jackie Davis was introduced as director of climate and student supports and Anthony Brooks was introduced as assistant superintendent.
Superintendent Dr. Schwartz described both hires as returns to Waterbury: Davis as a longtime district employee who served in a range of roles and most recently worked on clinical projects at Yale, and Brooks as a former fourth-grade teacher at Walsh School who has served in leadership roles in other districts. Both Davis and Brooks addressed the board and audience, emphasizing their commitment to students and the community.
Board members expressed support and personal appreciation. Commissioner Van Stone publicly praised Davis as a strong match for the position and several board members embraced the appointments in remarks at the meeting. The transcript records "Motion carries" before adjournment, indicating the board-approved action for the appointments.
Why it matters: These are senior hires that affect district leadership and the central office—s capacity to manage climate, student supports and instructional leadership across schools.
What comes next: Both appointees will assume their duties and serve on district leadership teams; staff said they will continue to report updates to the board.
