Lincoln-Sudbury committee approves contract for incoming superintendent Andrew Stevens

SUDBURY — May 9, 2023 — Lincoln-Sudbury committee hires Andrew Stevens as superintendent and reorganizes leadership. The regional school committee voted unanimously May 9 to approve an employment contract with Andrew Stevens as superintendent-principal effective July 1, succeeding longtime leader Bella Wong, and elected Heather as chair and Kevin as vice chair on unanimous roll calls. Auditor Todd of Powers and Sullivan presented a clean FY22 audit with no material weaknesses, a $28.5 million net OPEB liability (down roughly $6 million) and $1.3 million in clean federal-grant spending. Members also unanimously awarded the FY24 food-service contract to sole bidder Aramark with a guaranteed $168,610 annual return, and conducted a first reading of an updated USDA-template wellness policy. Two public commenters urged restoration of AP Chemistry, which the chair said is a staffing — not budget — problem the science department is "working on a resolution" for.
