Winthrop School Board appoints Aaron Storz to seat and hires Jay Sharet as middle‑school principal
Summary
The board appointed Aaron Storz to fill a vacancy through Dec. 31, 2026, unanimously approved Jay Sharet as the 2026–27 middle‑school principal and adopted a new executive administrative coordinator job description designed to formalize a cost‑saving administrative restructure.
The Winthrop School Board appointed Aaron Storz to fill an unexpected board vacancy (term through Dec. 31, 2026) and unanimously approved J. (Jay) Sharet as the next middle‑school principal for the 2026–27 school year.
The appointment of Aaron Storz was made during new business; the transcript records the board’s vote and a welcome to the newly appointed member. The board then voted to accept the search committee’s recommendation to hire Jay Sharet, who spoke briefly to thank the board and said he would start in July.
The board also approved a new executive administrative coordinator job description that formalizes a structure in which the district’s transportation director also serves as an assistant to the superintendent. Superintendent Dr. Foley said the restructure would produce substantial savings — an administration estimate of more than $100,000 annually was cited — and the job description was approved unanimously.
All three personnel actions were announced in open session; the board directed human resources and administrative staff to complete hiring paperwork and update public records. The motions to appoint and to hire were recorded in the minutes; the transcript records the votes as carried without opposition.
