The major issue over the next year will be the selection of a new superintendent to replace Mary Lou McGrath, who is not expected to renew her soon-to-expire contract. Thankfully, Russell supports the institution of a national search process to hire the finest administrator for the job. Unfortunately, though, Russell insists that the superintendent must move to Cambridge within a year. We believe that, as is the case with a police officer...
