NEWTON, MA — The Newton Public Schools Superintendent Search Committee is conducting a series of in-person and virtual focus groups designed to solicit perceptions of the district and its services to students, staff, and families.

Participants will also be asked for input on what they consider to be the most effective characteristics for the district's next superintendent.

There are several dates and times available from November 17-20. If it is a virtual group, participants will receive a link via email prior to the focus group. All in-person focus groups will take place at 100 Walnut St. in Newton.
