The latest shuffle has Steven R. Bedard, the current director of alternative learning programs, will become the acting assistant principal at New Canaan High School next school year, the district announced Monday.
The current assistant principal, Dr. Veronica LeDuc, will become acting principal on July 1. That’s when Bedard begins his new position too. Dr. Bryan Luizzi, the current high school principal, will become the interim superintendent on July.
