Search For New Bridgeport Schools Superintendent Hits A Snag: Report

BRIDGEPORT, CT — The Bridgeport Board of Education has disbanded its separate superintendent search committee, after public complaints about its lack of transparency, reported the Connecticut Post.

Complaints had rained down on the board for the committee's closed-door meetings that were not publicly recorded, though the board had created the group due to the overall sense of urgency to find a new superintendent.

The school system is seeking to replace Michael Testani, who is leaving to become schools superintendent in Fairfield.

Testani is slated to leave at Thanksgiving, and the board will seek to hire an interim superintendent while also conducting a larger search for a permanent replacement.
