City begins search for Payzant's successor

City begins search for Payzant's successor - The Boston Globe
Nearly three months later than expected, Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the Boston School Committee named a 12-person superintendent search committee yesterday. Despite the delay, the committee still plans to name a superintendent by the end of the school year to replace Thomas W. Payzant, who will retire in June after leading Boston schools for more than a decade.
''As mayor, in my next term, this will probably be the most important thing I do," Menino said.
