PITTSFIELD â Two of four finalists for superintendent of Berkshire countyâs largest school district fielded questions from the School Committee on Monday evening, in the first of two live sessions before leaders decide in whose hands to place the districtâs reins. Joseph Curtis, the deputy superintendent appointed by the School Committee last summer to serve as interim superintendent, was interviewed first, followed by Portia Bonner, the interim Bozrah, Conn., superintendent and former superintendent of New Bedford Public Schools, a large urban district in Eastern Massachusetts. Quote The candidates chronicled their educational visions, outlined their experience and, in separate interviews, acknowledged the work ahead helping students and educators rebound from the disruptions caused by COVID-19.
