Mohawk finalist takes NH job

BUCKLAND — A finalist for the co-principal position at Mohawk Trail
Regional School has instead taken a job closer to his home in
Winchester, N.H.
Former Pioneer Valley Regional School acting Principal Michael Duprey
is now principal of Winchester School, a New Hampshire school of
roughly 475 students from preschool ages through Grade 8.
Duprey, who resigned from PVRS in May after 26 years, was one of two
finalists for the new position of coprincipal at the Mohawk Trail
Regional School.
The other finalist for Mohawk co-principal is Marisa Mendonsa, former principal of the Amherst Regional MiddleSchool.
“I was excited to be a finalist at Mohawk,” said Duprey, “but I
actually needed to make a decision quickly. I weighed all my options,
obviously.” Duprey noted that the Winchester School is only one mile
from his home. “It will be an exciting challenge,” he said.
When contacted earlier this week to find out if one of the two
finalists had been chosen, Superintendent Michael Buoniconti said a
“tentative agreement” had been reached with one of the two finalists,
but that an announcement wouldn’t be made until next week.
Buoniconti was contacted again, after The Recorder learned Duprey had
taken another job. Buoniconti, who is attending a superintendents’
annual conference this week, sent an email saying he would make a public
announcement on Monday, after the employment contract is signed.

Just in case you haven't heard Pearl Rhodes also has a new inexperienced Principal. Seems keeping them inexperienced is this Superintendents way of keeping control .
ReplyDeleteThat's a crazy way to look at it!!! There's nothing more exciting than hiring someone young, new, and fresh. Someone with new ideas and energy and a can-do attitude! Besides, Duprey needed to go.
ReplyDeleteDuprey did not need to go and the kids , teachers and parents made it clear how they felt from what was read in the newspaper. PVRS was a highly ranked high school and everyone who made it what it was seems to be gone. You now bring in your so called YOUNG BLOOD with fresh new ideas is a damn joke . Miller got rid of all she knew she could not control and replaced them with cheap help she could control. Tell me more after 2017 by than PVRS will be barely hanging on.
DeleteYoung blood is not a joke. These people can get twice as much work done in half the amount of time and they are energetic team players with a can-do attitude. No one should stay in the same position longer than ten years because they can't stay fresh. Besides, they start to feel entitled the way that Dayle and Bill did. Just because there was a showing by a bunch of teachers who didn't want to endure cuts doesn't mean the teachers, staff and public were happy with the status quo. Dayle and Bill needed to go. And there are others that need to go as well. P.S. Again, I am not a Miller minion. I have never met her.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous July 18, at 2:27.......YOU DON't even know what you are talking about. GET REAL!
DeleteYou just keep telling yourself that...
DeleteTime will tell, but THE SAD, SAD reality is PVRS is close to being destroyed.
DeleteIt's already better than it has been over the past decade!!
ReplyDeleteIt's already better than it has been over the past decade!!??????
DeleteHere is a Ruthless minion.
Lets see how long PVRS holds on to its standing as being one of the best. All those who made it the best she got rid of.
Miller destroys everything she touches.
AMEN......AMEN!!!!!
DeleteNot a minion...never met her...I've seen the inner workings and they have been broken for a long time...we need a totally new set of admin and elected officials...and they should all be under the age of 30, so they are fresh and energetic...no more old ladies and gentlemen who were educated in one room school houses...we need people who have worked in other communities...people with new ideas who aren't afraid of change.
DeleteHave YOU seen what an OLD GOAT Ruthless is?
ReplyDeleteLike I said, I'm not a Miller minion...I just think we need to see HUGE changes at PVRS...I don't care if she stays or goes...I just think the vast majority of the School Committee needs to go because they set the tone for what's acceptable and what isn't...the only thing I do not fault them for is the budget...that's the fault of the state's formula...it needs to be updated...but I do fault them for keeping on long term administrators who just sit back and collect their paychecks without having to have a presence in the community. There is no outreach...no public presentation...no interaction. It's wrong. But I think Miller may be trying to change that. I've heard Miller speak more this school year than I ever saw Dayle speak in her entire tenure.
