In a message that went out to the Peaslee School commitity from Charles Gobron, superintendent of schools, he announced that Mary Ryan has been appointed as interim principal at Peaslee.
Ryan is a retired principal from the Finn School in Southborough.
"In addition to her vast experience as a principal, Mrs. Ryan brings an expertise in early childhood education," wrote Gobron. "Mrs. Ryan presently teaches principal licensure classes at American International College. I am excited that Mrs. Ryan is willing to accept this challenge. She will bring a vitality to the school and prepare us well for a permanent replacement."
Ryan is visiting the school to meet the staff on Monday, as well as participate in activities over the next few weeks. Ryan is tentatively scheduled to serve as principal for the entire 2012-2013 year, "but her plans are flexible enough in case a permanent principal is available before next June."
Gobron said a time will be scheduled for community members to meet Ryan before the start of the school year in August.
