The Norwich Board of Education and Superintendent Dr. Kristen Stringfellow have reached a mutual agreement leading to her resignation, following her leave of absence in September 2023. This decision comes more than a year after Stringfellow was placed on leave due to troubling results from a climate survey that highlighted significant concerns regarding the district's leadership.
In response to the survey findings, the Norwich school board initiated an investigation into various personnel complaints, which prompted further scrutiny of the administrative environment within the district. The climate survey revealed a need for improved communication and trust among staff members, raising questions about the effectiveness of current leadership practices.
Dr. Stringfellow's departure marks a significant transition for the Norwich school district, as it seeks to address the underlying issues identified in the survey and to foster a more positive and supportive atmosphere for both educators and students. The board is now tasked with finding a new superintendent who can lead the district toward a more collaborative and effective future.
