罗得岛州普罗维登斯市学区董事会选定Lendozia Edwards任临时学监 19日上任至2028年6月
罗得岛州普罗维登斯市学区董事会14日选定Lendozia Edwards出任临时学监，领导这个拥有近2万名学生、约37所学校的学区。现任学监哈维尔·蒙塔涅斯10月宣布辞职，任期将于18日（周三）结束，爱德华兹19日上任，任期至2028年6月30日，覆盖本学年与下一学年。爱德华兹今年早些时候被任命为学区学校事务主管，自2024年10月起在普罗维登斯工作。她是《波士顿环球报》此前点名的四名潜在继任者之一，董事会14日面试了三名候选人后选定她。董事会主席泰雷尔·斯蒂芬斯宣布了这一决定。普罗维登斯公立学校今年早些时候结束为期七年的州接管、回归地方管理，毕业率有所上升，长期缺勤率明显下降，但州政府设定的43项目标中仅完成10项，约六分之一的学生达到年级水平。当选市长 David Morales 表示全力支持 Edwards，期待与她密切合作，让全市学生接受优质的公立教育。
Providence School Board Names Lendozia Edwards Interim Superintendent; She Takes Office Nov. 19, Serving Through June 2028
The Providence, Rhode Island, school board on the 14th selected Lendozia Edwards as interim superintendent to lead the district, which has nearly 20,000 students and about 37 schools. Current Superintendent Javier Montañez announced his resignation in October; his term ends on the 18th (Wednesday), and Edwards takes office on the 19th, serving through June 30, 2028, covering this school year and the next. Edwards was appointed earlier this year as the district's chief of school operations and has worked in Providence since October 2024. She was one of four potential successors named earlier by The Boston Globe, and the board selected her after interviewing three candidates on the 14th. Board Chair Tyrell Stephens announced the decision. Providence Public Schools ended seven years of state takeover earlier this year and returned to local control; graduation rates have risen and chronic absenteeism has fallen markedly, but only 10 of the 43 goals set by the state have been met, and about one in six students are performing at grade level. Mayor-elect David Morales expressed full support for Edwards and said he looks forward to working closely with her to give all students in the city a quality public education.
