MARBLEHEAD— The town’s school district has been hit with yet another resignation.
This morning, in an email sent out to families, Interim Superintendent Theresa McGuinness announced that Glover School Principal Hope Doran would be resigning from her position to “pursue a career opportunity in another school district.” Doran had been on medical leave since December, during a student restraint crisis in which four educators were placed on paid administrative leave by McGuinness.
Doran’s resignation is the latest in a wave of changes to the district in the last several weeks.
After investigating the situation at Glover School, Student Services Director Paula Donnelly, and Associate Director Emily Dean resigned from their posts. That same week, Assistant Superintendent Michelle Cresta announced that she would be resigning, effective March 22.
McGuinness also recently notified the School Committee that she would not pursue the permanent position after June 30. The School Committee also saw a change as Meagan Taylor informed the committee last week that she was resigning.
At the committee’s Thursday meeting, McGuinness addressed Doran’s resignation.
“We appreciate Ms. Doran’s service, and the district wishes her well in her other opportunities in the field of education,” McGuinness said.
A job posting for the Glover School Principal will be posted in “February or early March for a July 1st start,” according to McGuinness.
Assistant High School Principal Dan Richards has been serving as Interim Principal at Glover since Doran went on medical leave, and McGuinness announced that he will remain in that role.
High School Principal Michelle Carlson and her team will begin conducting interviews for an interim assistant principal position to fill in for Richards beginning next week.
Other ongoing searches were addressed at the meeting as well.
Interviews for an Interim Director of Student Services will begin in two weeks, and a posting for an Assistant Director of Finance and Operations will go up next week for a March start.
McGuinness also announced a plan for the Student Services Department during the transition.
Veterans Middle School Student Services Team Chair Ashlee Leibman will take on the Student Services Transitional Coordinator role until an interim director is hired.
McGuinness emphasized that the position is a “very short-term temporary role.”
“We so greatly appreciate the expertise and the willingness of all our staff who have stepped up to the plate, who have accepted responsibilities,” McGuinness said. “It really demonstrates how vested our staff is in our schools and the districts mission of supporting all of our students as we are working through some tough times.”
