(Greenfield, MA) — A search committee is now in place which will help select Greenfield’s next school superintendent. The 17-member committee will be chaired by School Committee member Jean Wall. A consultant has been hired to assist the effort to hire the successor to Jordana Harper, who recently severed ties with the district several months before her contract was to expire. A timeline for the search and an expected hiring date will be determined by the full school committee next week.
