Framingham Brophy Elementary Principal Search Underway

FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Brophy Elementary School principal search is officially underway, school district officials said.

In September, Framingham Public Schools announced John Gibbons as interim principal. The school is one of the district's two-way Spanish schools, and officials are encouraging Spanish speakers to apply.

Officials posted the position on Jan. 3, and those in charge of reviewing resumes will submit a list of candidates to be interviewed by Feb. 2.

An interview committee of 11 people will be formed to conduct 30-minute interviews with candidates. That committee, which will be made up of parents and guardians, administrators and a community member, will select three or four candidates to interview with the superintendent and his cabinet.

That step in the process will take place in mid-February. During the week of March 4, the superintendent interviews will take place.

During the first or second week of March, he finalists will spend the day at Brophy and meet with stakeholders of the Brophy community and answer questions, officials said.

Community members can complete this survey to share their wishes for the characteristics of a new principal. For those wishing to apply for a spot on the interview committee, an application is available here. It is due by Jan. 19.
