Bonner withdraws from supt search
It’s official. Dr. Portia Bonner has accepted the position of superintendent of the New Bedford School District, withdrawing her candidacy from the Lowell pool of four finalists: in-district candidates Dr. Wendy Jack and Paul Schlictman, along with Dr. Chris Augusta Scott, superintendent in Norfolk, Mass. As planned, the Lowell School Committee will meet tonight, at 6:30, in council chambers to cast their votes for the next superintendent of Lowell schools—a vote that will now be made from the remaining three candidates. The meeting will be televised live on channel 10.
