The Stratford Board of Education is providing the following update regarding the status of its Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Uyi Osunde.
The Board has decided to end Dr. Osunde’s administrative leave, withdraws its charges against Dr. Osunde after further consideration and discussion with Dr. Osunde, and reinstates Dr. Osunde as Superintendent. However, Dr. Osunde has informed us of his interest to pursue other opportunities. In short, the Board and Dr. Osunde confirm that the employment dispute has been resolved to a mutual satisfaction.
The Stratford Public Schools recognizes many positive accomplishments under Dr. Osunde’s leadership, including improved outcomes on test scores and other objective metrics, enhancement to the safety infrastructure of our district, construction of a new strategic plan with a new vision and mission, creation of new programs to respond to issues of culture and climate, and improvements in family and community relations. Dr. Osunde is a very talented and dedicated educator and all members of the Board wish Dr. Osunde the best in his future endeavors and as he progresses in his career.
Finally! Good move.
Too bad. We lost a n excellent superintendent. And it cost the taxpayers a lot of money which could have been used for the betterment of our children.
