In the end, Mr. Strauss was selected for the role.
Mr. Strauss has many past work experiences qualifying him for this position. He has worked as a school coach, teacher, assistant principal, principal, and even superintendent in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with his most recent position as a superintendent of the Freetown-Lakeville school system in southern Massachusetts.
According to his online biography, Mr. Strauss is committed to giving all students equal opportunities and programs they need to support their personal journeys. According to his personal biography. He deeply respects and applauds the work of every staff member who contributes to bringing joy to students.
