On Thursday, March 4, with a unanimous vote, the School Committee approved Dr. Linus Guillory as the new Superintendent of the Public Schools of Brookline, beginning July 1, 2021 and pending successful contract negotiations.

Dr. Guillory brings a wealth of experience to Brookline. He has been a classroom teacher, a principal, curriculum leader, and deputy superintendent over his 20-year career in education. In addition, he worked at the NASA Space Center in Houston for 6 years as an education specialist helping educators access NASA education products. Dr. Guillory earned his BA in Biology with a minor in chemistry at Texas A&M; he went on to earn his PHD in Environmental Science at Oklahoma State University. 

 

Dr. Guillory is a collaborative leader, who puts children first along with the joy of learning. His colleagues and supervisees describe him as an excellent listener and thought partner, who is always available to help out. The community in their feedback highlighted his interpersonal skills and his commitment to putting students first as a good fit for Brookline. 

The School Committee is excited to support and work with Dr. Guillory as the new Superintendent of Schools in Brookline. A summary of Dr. Guillory’s credentials can be found at www.brookline.k12.ma.us/suptsearch

Dear Public Schools of Brookline and Town of Brookline Communities:

 

The Brookline School Committee is pleased to announce that we are launching our Superintendent search to secure a permanent superintendent to succeed Interim Superintendent Dr. James Marini. We have engaged the services of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) to assist us with the search process. We are hoping to have a new Superintendent in place by July 1, 2021.  

 

The following School Committee members have agreed to serve on the Superintendent Search Committee:

• Helen Charlupski (Chair)
• Dimitry Anselme
• Suzanne Federspiel
• David Pearlman

We will be sharing the list of community members who have agreed to serve on the Superintendent Search Public Advisory Committee as soon as it is finalized.

 

In an effort to solicit input from as many of our stakeholders as possible, the Superintendent Search Committee invites your participation in an online survey to help guide us through the selection of our next superintendent. We value your input and shall use it anonymously to better understand the needs, goals, and aspirations of our communities. This survey will also help us identify the attributes sought in our next district leader. Please complete the survey by January 7, 2021. (Please note that the survey linked above is in English. Translated versions of the survey will be published over the next few weeks for you to complete.)

 

For on-going information about the Superintendent search and to view the job posting, please visit the Superintendent Search Website.

 

Thank you in advance for completing this survey and supporting the Public Schools of Brookline.

 

Best regards,

 

Helen Charlupski (Chair)
