While the Hopkinton School Board and administration crunch numbers during this busy time of Town and School District Meetings, one more task has been added to their agenda – finding a new superintendent.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Blake has resigned from his post, effective at the end of the school year, June 30. The School Board officially accepted his resignation Jan. 20.

“The Hopkinton School Board is looking forward to working with the educational leaders and members of the community as we work to find our next superintendent,” said School Board Chairman David Luneau. “At the moment, we are meeting with internal candidates. Depending on what we find, we’ll either make a selection or open the process to outside candidates.

Blake is currently making $101,000 per year.

“We’re interested in getting a candidate that fits with the educational priorities we have in Hopkinton, and we want to pay that candidate a competitive salary,” said Luneau.

Blake was not available for comment as of press time.
