PITTSFIELD — The Pittsfield School Committee has moved to begin negotiations with Interim Superintendent Latifah Phillips to extend her contract for an additional year, citing the need for stability as the district navigates major initiatives and leadership transitions.
Committee members highlighted Phillips’ early positive impact and emphasized the importance of continuity while a new School Committee takes office. The potential extension would allow the district to maintain momentum on key projects while providing time for long-term leadership decisions.
