Groton Public Schools Announces Finalists for Superintendent Interviews

Information provided by Groton Public Schools.

The Groton Board of Education is pleased to announce that they have selected 3 candidates to interview for their superintendent vacancy. The candidates selected for interviews are: 

• Robert J. Angeli of Meriden Public Schools
• Denise L. Clemons of Groton Public Schools
• Michael H. Graner of Ledyard Public Schools 

Interviews are scheduled to be conducted the week of September 23rd. Representatives from stakeholder groups will have the opportunity to meet the candidates and submit input to the board about each of them. The board intends to make their selection by September 30, 2013.

Groton Public Schools retained the services of McPherson & Jacobson L.L.C. to assist in conducting the search. The consultants reviewed applicants’ experience and qualifications. They also conducted extensive background checks, screening applicants against the board’s criteria and the community’s input on desired skills, qualities and characteristics. On August 26, 2013, the consultants presented the applicants to the board of education and provided detailed background information on those that best fit the board’s criteria and community’s interests. The board selected the above named candidates as finalists.

After the superintendent has been hired, McPherson & Jacobson consultant Sharon Cox will facilitate a Board/Superintendent workshop to assist in the establishment of performance objectives for the new superintendent.
