Boston Selects Rivera as new Superintedent

After a long and sometimes rocky search, Boston's superintendent search committee has recommended Rochester superintendent Manny Rivera as Boston's next superintendent of schools. Rivera comes highly recommended and has had quite a bit of success in Rochester which is a somewhat smaller district than Boston, but has a very similar student population.

Among his many other qualifications, Rivera is an expert in bilingual education which is great news for the Hurley School. For more, read the Globe article about Rivera's hiring, the BPS press release, and a Globe bio.
