The Leicester School Committee is pleased to announce that it has hired Dr. Marilyn Tencza to be the Interim Superintendent of Schools beginning on August 28th.   Dr. Tencza is a familiar face to the Leicester Public Schools.  She was the Director of Curriculum for several years prior to becoming the Superintendent of Schools in North Brookfield in 2014.  Prior to that, she was the Principal of Quabbin Regional High School.  The Committee asked Michael Wood, Director of Student Services, to serve as Acting Superintendent for the month of August until Dr. Tencza comes on board.  Dr. Tencza has already met with outgoing Superintendent, Dr. Judy Paolucci, to begin her transition.  She plans on meeting with principals and directors over the course of the month to hit the ground running in late August.  The School Committee will introduce Dr. Tencza at their August 7th meeting.
