Joseph Curtis, Pittsfield schools chief, takes salary at low end of pay range

PITTSFIELD — Joseph Curtis has inked a three-year contract to serve as superintendent of Pittsfield’s school district and will earn an annual salary of $168,000. The contract was negotiated between Curtis and the School Committee, which in April selected the longtime Pittsfield Public Schools administrator to serve in one of the highest-paid and highest-profile jobs in the city. PITTSFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS Curtis had served as interim superintendent since the fall, and before that worked several jobs, including deputy superintendent of the approximately 5,000-student district and as principal of Morningside Community School. He started as a teacher in the district in 1994. With an agreed-upon starting salary of $168,000, Curtis’ initial wages are on the low end of the $165,000 to $180,000 salary range the School Committee set for superintendent job.

Circumstances aside, at PALC graduation, the pomp — satisfaction, too — is palpable

Like the others, Mead was used to the long way around. In a series of individual graduation ceremonies throughout the day inside the William Stickney Pittsfield Adult Learning Center on North Street, each graduate solemnly was honored with their very own ceremony calibrated to these tender first days after the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. In room number one, each was invited to listen in and watch recorded speeches from mentors, politicians and other civic leaders. In room number two, more recorded speeches, the usual stuff — “Well done” and “Very special day” and “A step along the journey” — all of it heartfelt, all of it taken to heart.
