Last year, Fairhaven Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Baldwin was named President of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents. At the time, he joked with me about "winning" and the timing of the opportunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. It would be hard to imagine a tougher time to take on such a position, but in reality, Baldwin relished the chance to demonstrate leadership. The world was in the middle of a pandemic. Here in Massachusetts, the debate was white-hot about whether or not learning should be conducted in school buildings and, if so, when that should begin and what it should look like. Dr. Baldwin helped make those decisions at the state level and helped shape policy for school systems all across the Commonwealth.
