The following letter was sent to School Superintendent Michael Morris, Assistant Superintendent Doreen Cunningham, and the Amherst School Committee on April 13, 2023.
As a representative leadership group at Amherst Regional Middle School, the Curriculum Leaders recommend that, for the stability of our school, the internal candidate (who is a person of color) from the recent principal search be appointed as interim principal for one year. This will give us the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive and widespread search for a permanent principal beginning in late 2023. Thank you.
