From ARPS: ARMS Interim Principal Search

Dear Amherst Regional Middle School Community:

It is typical at this time of year that we post and advertise our administrative vacancies in anticipation of the next school year.  I know you are aware that Patty Bode is presently serving as Interim Principal at Amherst Regional Middle School, and I am writing to update you about how I am planning to fill administrative leadership positions for next year

The ARMS principal-ship is one of two principal roles in the district with interim leadership, the other being Fort River Elementary School.  In addition to these two administrative positions, the districts are also in the process of seeking a new Superintendent of Schools who is expected to begin working in the district in July 2017.  Since selecting building-based leadership is one of a Superintendent’s most important roles, I have determined that the new district leader should conduct these two permanent principal searches during the 2017-2018 year and select the individuals who will permanently lead these two community schools as of July 2018.  

This week, we will post the position of Interim Principal of Amherst Regional Middle School for the 2017-2018 school year.  Ms. Bode is fully aware and supportive of the this decision and has been encouraged to apply.  As Interim Superintendent, I am deeply appreciative of Ms. Bode for stepping up and serving the ARMS community as the Interim Principal this school year.  As the posting is released and applications are received, I will keep you updated on the process for screening and selecting the Interim Principal for Amherst Regional Middle School.

Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Morris
Interim Superintendent of Schools
