Parents, principals, teachers and business leaders are praising the city’s pick of EdVestors CEO Laura Perille as interim Boston Public Schools superintendent, saying she has the background needed to move schools forward and navigate the city’s political landscape.
“Laura is great,” said Boston School Committee Chairman Michael Loconto. “She knows the system inside and out. She’ll be very helpful in immediately hitting the ground running and helping to rebuild trust with our community and school leaders.”
On Monday, the Boston School Committee will meet to vote on Perille’s temporary contract. Her start date is still to be determined, officials say.
