Littleton welcomes new superintendent Michael Kyra, who pledges student‑centered leadership
Summary
Michael Kyra, who began his career at Russell Street School in Littleton, introduced himself to the Select Board and said he will prioritize student‑centered leadership and collaboration with town administration.
The Select Board formally introduced Michael Kyra as Littleton’s new school superintendent. Kyra told the board he began his educational career in Littleton as a teacher at Russell Street School and returned to the community when the superintendent position opened.
“I am a student centered leader. I will forever be that,” Kyra said, describing his family history in public service and pledging to work closely with town administrators and department staff. Board members welcomed him and invited him to town events and staff meetings; Kyra said he had already attended a department head meeting that morning and looked forward to engaging with parents and residents.
Why it matters: A superintendent’s priorities shape schools’ educational and budget decisions; Kyra’s pledge to engage with families and town leadership sets expectations for early collaboration and community outreach.
