Fall River School Committee approves contract for Acting Superintendent Brian Raposa
Summary
After an executive session, the committee voted unanimously to approve a negotiated contract for Acting Superintendent Brian Raposa and authorized continued search for an interim superintendent; roll-call votes were all recorded as 'Yes'.
After recessing to executive session to conduct strategy sessions and contract negotiations, the Fall River School Committee reconvened on March 25 and moved to approve the negotiated contract for Acting Superintendent Brian Raposa. The motion was made by Mr. Aguiar and was seconded; the roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval.
Why this matters: The committee recognized Raposa’s interim leadership during a demanding budget period and signaled it will continue a parallel search for an interim superintendent to serve while the district completes a full-time search process. Mr. Aguiar said Raposa has stepped into “double roles” and praised his performance; the committee indicated it will address interim candidates on the April 1 agenda.
Formal action taken: Mr. Aguiar moved “that we approve the contract as agreed as negotiated with Acting Superintendent Brian Raposa.” The motion was seconded and, after brief discussion, the clerk recorded 'Yes' votes from Mr. Aguiar, Mr. Dias, Mr. Corey, Mr. Moniz, Ms. Riley, Mr. Stewart and Mayor Coogan. The chair declared the motion approved.
What’s next: Committee members requested a one‑page update on the interim superintendent search process for the April 1 agenda. Raposa will continue in the acting role while the committee pursues interim and permanent superintendent options.
Ending: The committee adjourned after recording the vote and setting follow-up items for the April meetings.
