GREENFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — New Greenfield Interim Superintendent Roland Joyal Jr. was introduced to the City Council by Mayor Ginny Desorgher at Wednesday’s meeting, despite the School Committee Chair’s earlier statement in a School Committee meeting this month saying neither he nor the Superintendent would be attending the meeting.
Joyal said he’s looking forward to lay the ground work for next year during his year as interim Superintendent, a position that is not new to Joyal having served as interim Superintendent in Monson and Chicopee in recent years.
Now, Joyal said the schools are working on hiring several positions including teachers, aids, a principal and other staff.
Joyal also commented on the “robust” food department in the district, noting that the Summer Eats program is more than he’s “ever seen done in most municipalities.”
