The Newtown Board of Education has voted on a person to fill the Superintendent's role starting on July 1st.  The Board unanimously selected Christopher Melillo to lead the district when current Superintendent Lorrie Rodrigue retires at the end of the academic year.  The 53-year old has been the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in Hamden for the past 9 years and has been an educator for nearly 3 decades.  The Newtown Board said in a statement that Melillo is a highly-regarded leader who actively engages with both staff and students and is  known as a natural and effective relationship builder throughout the school district and broader community.  Among his responsibilities will be overseeing the move of Hawley Elementary School students to two buildings for the upcoming school year as Hawley undergoes an $8 million renovation.
