Dear Superintendent Sullivan,
It is with extremely mixed emotions that I submit this letter to you as notification of
my resignation from Colchester Public Schools, effective June 30, 2023. I have happily
worked in this district for the past 5 years, and have found the community at William J.
Johnston Middle School to be among the best that I have ever seen or worked in. Students in
this district are lucky beyond words to have these administrators, teachers, and
paraprofessionals in their corners. It has been a pleasure to work in a building that supports
students not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Additionally, I have
learned so much through my involvement in the Union and from my fellow members, and I
am proud to have served our membership during my time here.
My next step brings me back to my roots, to the town I grew up in. I will be going back
to their self-contained Alternative High School, and taking on some administrative
responsibilities- the natural step towards using my 092 which I very recently completed.
have always wholeheartedly believed in alternative schools, so when this opportunity- which
I was not actively seeking out- was brought to my attention, it was something that I could not
pass up. I am so grateful for my years here in Colchester, for all of the connections I have
made, and for the students who have come in and out of my classroom during this time.
Respectfully submitted,
