The board voted 6-1 in favor of Lyons over Agawam Superintendent Mary Czajkowski. Despite the one dissenting vote, the committee was unanimous in its assessment of Lyons as a strong pick to lead Hudson schools.
"Dr. Lyons is a match in every way on my checklist," board member Susan Dunnell said.
"Both candidates were very strong," School Committee Chairman Tom Green said. "But I thought Dr. Lyons' presentation and his experience made him the ideal candidate."
The superintendent selection is contingent on contract negotiations, reference checks and a site visit, school officials said.
Sad as it is to say, this is probably for the best. He'd be a lame duck superintendent in most people's eyes if he stuck around.
I don't follow the schools closely enough, so I honestly don't know what his legacy he'll leave. I guess it would be difficult to build a legacy in only three years, but he certainly left an impact by overseeing the closing of the Kelley.
