Scituate committee approves superintendent and administrative appointments

The Scituate School Committee on June 1 approved several administrative appointments and contract arrangements, including the appointment of Dr. Rob as superintendent and the naming of a director of special education and a one-year contract extension for the district's director of business and finance.

The committee moved to appoint Dr. Rob as superintendent following successful contract negotiations; members congratulated him after a voice vote. The committee then introduced the district's chosen director of special education, who had been the finalist following a reopened search and a selection committee that included parents, teachers, paraprofessionals and school committee representation. The appointee described her background in special education practice and administration and said she will start in July.

The committee also granted a one-year contract extension to Mrs. Irene Bul as director of business and finance to allow the administration additional time next winter and spring to manage a broader hiring process.

Committee process and immediate follow-up

Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting; the transcript records the approvals but does not include a roll-call tally for the superintendent and administrative hires. Committee members welcomed the new appointees and described next steps for administrative onboarding.

"We're very excited about that," one committee member said after introducing the new director of special education, summarizing the selection committee's positive references and candidate site visits.

Ending: The committee completed the personnel actions early in the meeting and moved on to the Title IX assessment presentation and other business.
