New Superintendent of Schools

New Superintendent of Douglas Public Schools
Dear Douglas Residents,
On behalf of the School Committee, we want to thank every person who participated in the superintendent search process. Your feedback on surveys, time spent in interviews, and care regarding the leadership of our district certainly made a difference. We are happy to announce that we have extended our offer for the next Superintendent of Schools to Dr. Paul Vieira and he has accepted.
Most recently, Dr. Vieira has served as the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum at the Ashland Public Schools. He earned his Doctor of Education Degree at Northeastern University and his Masters of Science in Secondary Education at Suffolk University; Dr. Vieira has also worked as a principal and a classroom teacher. Beyond his accomplishments, we were impressed at how well he was received by all groups involved in the interview process. Douglas students, staff, administrators, parents, and the School Committee all valued Dr. Vieira's positive energy and his commitment to continuing to move our district forward. We are excited to get to work with him!
As always, we want to thank our teachers, administration, staff, and Superintendent Maines for all of the hard work they continue to do as we wrap up the school year. Their efforts to bring some sense of normalcy and continuity in our students' education are deeply appreciated. Wishing you and your families well.
Regards,
Becky Charniak
School Committee Member
