Richard Holzman accepts contract with Southern Berkshire Regional School District
- June, 18 2002
Richard Holzman, a Chester resident, has accepted a one-year contract as the interim superintendent of Southern Berkshire Regional School District for 2002-2003.
The Southern Berkshire Regional School Committee voted to offer the position to Dr. Holzman at its June 6 meeting. He will begin as interim superintendent on July 8.
A 1961 graduate of Hofstra University, Dr. Holzman received his masters degree in education there and earned a doctorate in school administration in 1970 from UMASS Amherst. Dr. Holzman has also completed graduate work at Columbia and Harvard Universities. He was a member of the first group of Peace Corps volunteers in 1961 and was cited by President Kennedy for his work in the Philippines.
For the past three years, Holzman has served as the headmaster of Heritage Academy in Longmeadow. Previously, he has served as superintendent of public schools in Lindenhurst and Schenectady in New York State, in Middletown Township, Teaneck and Cinnaminson all in New Jersey, and at Gateway Regional School District in Huntington, Massachusetts.
The Southern Berkshire Regional School Committee intends to utilize the services of a professional executive search organization in the fall to find a replacement for Dr. William Cooper, who resigned his Southern Berkshire Regional School District post in April and who will be departing the area in mid-July.

| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children.

| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
