Milford's Schools Chief Anna Cutaia Earns Prestigious Honor

MILFORD, CT — Milford's Superintendent of Schools Anna Cutaia was named 2021 Connecticut PTA's 'Outstanding Superintendent.'

She will be celebrated at a May 5 Zoom meeting by the state's PTA. Cutaia has been on the job since Aug. 1, 2018, and she has drawn strong reviews for her performance and high-energy enthusiasm throughout the district.

The Board of Education voted in 2019 to approve a new three-year contract with Cutaia which included a 2.5 percent pay increase, which at the time brought her salary to $202,950.

Board of Education Chairwoman Susan Glennon said in a 2019 statement that, "The Board recognizes Dr. Cutaia's hard work and enthusiasm since stepping into her role as Superintendent of Milford Public Schools last August. She embarked on an entry plan that met with stakeholders across the community, evaluated the practices and processes in place within the district and delivered some immediate enhancements, such as the 1:1 Chromebook initiative and the introduction of world language at the elementary level this fall. She has demonstrated an innovative and laser-like focus on high quality teaching and learning that will improve opportunity and outcomes for our young people."
