Dr. Carlinda Purcell has a plan for the Reading School District – even if it’s not that obvious right off the bat.
The Reading School Board on Monday formally introduced Purcell as the district’s newest superintendent, gathering the media and a handful of local officials for a press conference at the district administration building.
Introducing Purcell, school board President Yvonne L. Stroman said it has been a long journey trying to find a new leader for the district, but the wait was well worth it.
“There is no doubt of her leadership, of her wealth of knowledge she brings to our district,” Stroman said.
