Cambridge School Committee holds public finalist interviews for superintendent
Summary
The Cambridge School Committee conducted finalist interviews for the superintendent post, hearing three finalists on equity, special education, curriculum, educator evaluation, budgeting and labor relations. No policy votes were taken; the meeting ended with a routine adjournment.
The Cambridge School Committee convened a public finalist interview session for the superintendent search, welcoming three finalists and laying out a 90‑minute interview format for each (optional 3‑minute opening, round‑robin questions, optional closing). Mayor Simmons called roll, confirmed six members present and explained that the interviews would be livestreamed and recorded.
Each finalist answered 20 assigned questions from committee members about priorities for the district. Candidates focused on common themes: closing opportunity and achievement gaps, strengthening family and multilingual communication, improving special education processes, aligning instruction and curriculum, and pairing educator evaluation with job‑embedded professional development. The committee adjourned after the final candidate; Vice Chair Hunter moved to adjourn and members voted to close the meeting.
