FRAMINGHAM, MA Parents and residents will get a chance to meet the two finalists for the principal job at Stapleton Elementary School this week during a public forum, according to Framingham Public Schools.
Former Stapleton principal Anne Diaz stepped down from the job in February 2020 due to a medical issue. She had taken over the school in 2018. Brenda Maurao, the former FPS assistant director of elementary education, has been serving as interim principal since Diaz departed.
