"If Weston selects Peri, Franklin will have some big shoes to fill"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"School officials may find themselves in search of a new principal for the high school this spring if the current principal is selected to join the Weston Public Schools District.

Franklin High School’s popular principal, Paul Peri, is among three finalists for the same position at Weston High School. Peri announced his candidacy to the community via a letter last week, and the Weston School District released the names of the finalists on Jan. 24.

“After teams of parents, teachers, and administrators reviewed over 40 resumes and applicants completed a data analysis task, we moved forward seven candidates to be interviewed,” Weston Superintendent Dr. Marguerite Connolly noted in a Jan. 24 statement updating the district about the process.

Last week, a group of central office administrators, department heads, high school teachers, parents, and high school students interviewed the candidates and recommended the three finalists. Besides Peri, the finalists also include Weston High School Assistant Principal Kelly Flynn and Somerville High School Assistant Principal Dr. Darius Green."
