A version of this story appears on The Daily Norwalk.
It's a done deal. Last night Susan Marks, Norwalk's new superintendent of schools, signed a three year contract in a public ceremony at City Hall. Accompanied by her husband, Richard, and surrounded by Board of Education members, school staff and adminstrators, Marks signed on the dotted line. The contract was also signed by Board Chair Glenn Iannaccone and witnessed by Vice Chair Jack Chiaramonte and Secretary Susan Hamilton.
"I appreciate the confidence that the Board of Education, staff, community have shown in me," said Marks in a written statement. "I pledge to work in collaboration with all stakeholders to make the Norwalk Public Schools an outstanding school system for all our students. I have met extraordinary people in Norwalk who are committed to working with me to increase student performance and ensuring that our students are prepared for college and the world of work."
Marks' hiring caps a year-long search for a new leader for Norwalk schools. Last year, the BOE decided not to renew the contract of Dr. Salvatore Corda, the previous Superintendent, and he resigned in June. Since then, the district has been under the day-to-day management of two interim Superintendents.
Marks will be paid $200,000 a year plus a $30,000 annuity. She is currently Associate Superintendent of Human Resources in Montgomery County, Maryland. She starts work on July 1 and will be moving to Norwalk at the end of this month.

And Ms. Rivas was MIA at the meeting. Interesting, no?
ReplyDeleteAnd the new supreme leader stood upon the higest cliff, rasied her staff and spoke to the heavens. And the storms quieted, and the seas parted.... Oh wait thats another fable from another era. But ye I believe....
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Dr Marks. I hope she does a good job.
ReplyDelete2:23pm, Isn't Ms. Migdalia MIA at events where she can't cause some type of controversy? This is what she is only good at! And no, she does not represent or speak for all hispanic families. I'm active with my child at home and I watch the videos on line - she does not respresent me at all.
