Following is the letter sent to the Reading School Community Aug. 26 from School Committee chair Chuck Robinson:

As many of you are aware from previous updates, our Superintendent went on a Family Medical Leave earlier this summer. This current leave is set to expire on September 10th. I want to assure you that I have been in close contact all summer with Central Office Staff to ensure the continued progress of our School District over these summer months. I'd like to take a moment to commend their hard work, dedication to our students, and ability to pull together as a team. We are grateful to both them and our building principals.

At this point, we do not know the Superintendent's return date. However, I can tell you that when we have that information, we will share it as honestly and transparently as we possibly can.
