Superintendent Meg Mayo-Brown Leaving Barnstable School District

BARNSTABLE, MA — Barnstable Public Schools will soon need to look for a new superintendent.

Barnstable Superintendent Meg Mayo-Brown told the school committee at last week's meeting she will not seek a new contract when it expires on June 30, 2022.

Mayo-Brown has served at the helm of Barnstable Public Schools since July 2016. Before her time in Barnstable, May-Brown was the superintendent for the Fall River public school district.

Mayo-Brown told the school committee school officials collectively accomplished her goals with the district, including steadily improving on state accountability education metrics. She also said the district made great strides in improving equity, diversity and inclusion to help prepare all students for college and careers.

"The collective accomplishments over the past five years, including our response to the pandemic, have positioned Barnstable public schools for new strategic goals to be established by the school committee," Mayo-Brown said. "It also creates a natural transition point for new leadership."

May-Brown thanked her colleagues in the school district and said she will support the school committee's efforts to find her replacement.

"It is a privilege to serve the districts of Barnstable, and I look forward to leading the students through the 2021-22 school year as we continue to emerge from the pandemic," Mayo-Brown said."
