Sudbury Public Schools

Good afternoon,

We want to share a brief update with the community regarding district leadership and next steps.

On Monday, Superintendent Crozier announced his resignation from Sudbury Public Schools at the end of the school year. We are grateful for his eight years of service and his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition.

Today, the School Committee voted to offer the position of Interim Superintendent to Annette Doyle for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Ms. Doyle currently serves as the Assistant Superintendent for Teaching & Learning in Sudbury Public Schools. The Committee will now enter into contract negotiations with her, with the goal of finalizing an agreement for this role.

This interim appointment is intended to provide continuity and stability for students, staff, and families as the Committee begins the process of searching for the district’s next permanent Superintendent. The Committee has appreciated the opportunity to work with Ms. Doyle this year and looks forward to continuing that work in the interim role.

Contract Negotiations

The School Committee will be meeting in executive session to discuss the Interim Superintendent contract. The Massachusetts Open Meeting Law allows these types of discussions to take place in executive session, as discussing details in public can impact the Committee’s ability to negotiate effectively. Any final agreement will be made publicly available in accordance with Massachusetts Public Records Law.

Superintendent Search Process

Over the coming months, the School Committee will begin planning for the search for a permanent Superintendent through a thoughtful and inclusive process. This will include setting a timeline, considering whether to engage a search firm, and creating opportunities for input from staff, families, and the broader community. The Committee will also be identifying the qualities and experience it is seeking in the district’s next leader. We will share more information as this work moves forward.

School Committee meeting agendas and meeting materials are available on our website. Our meetings are also recorded by SudburyTV.

We hope everyone has a wonderful April break.

Sincerely,

Sudbury School Committee
Karyn Jones (Chair), Jessica McCready (Vice Chair), Julie Durgin-Sicree, Elizabeth Sues
