New Superintendent Named To Lead Montville Public Schools

MONTVILLE, CT — Laurie Pallin, who has been serving as the Montville District's acting superintendent since the spring of 2018, has been named the position permanently, Montville Board of Education Chair Robert Mitchell announced Wednesday.

Pallin became acting superintendent following the fight club scandal that rocked the district last school year. She takes over for Brian Levesque, who resigned in October.

Pallin has worked in the district since 1992, when she was hired as a Science Teacher at Montville High School. She was assistant superintendent before taking on the acting position.

"During her tenure at Montville, Mrs. Pallin has honed her leadership skills, expanded her vast
knowledge of the day-today operations of the district, as well as curriculum," wrote Mitchell in a statement. "For the past nine months, Mrs. Pallin has led the district, demonstrating her resilience and compassionate approach to leadership. The focus of Mrs. Pallin has remained constant on the needs of the students of Montville throughout everything.

"The Board of Education looks forward to continuing our work with Mrs. Pallin to ensure the
continued excellence of Montville Public Schools."
