Central Berkshire Superintendent Intends to Retire in June

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Central Berkshire Regional School District Superintendent Leslie Blake-Davis has put the phrase "life-long learning" into practice throughout her career and will continue to do so in retirement. 
 
It was announced during the School Committee meeting last week that Blake-Davis will be retiring from her position effective June 30. 
 
Although she is retiring, she is continuing to practice what she hopes to have modeled for district teachers, administrators, and students — to be a lifelong learner and lifelong educator. 
 
In the spring, Blake-Davis hopes to defend her dissertation, which she developed on education leadership and how to work together as educators to improve teaching and learning. 
 
During her project, she interviewed several principals, many of whom were in Berkshire County. 
 
"Specifically, my research is focused on rural school districts. I have a love and passion for rural school districts. So, I'm in the right place, I guess," Blake-Davis said.  
 
"I've interviewed principals across the county and outside of other parts of Massachusetts around things that they do to improve teaching and learning in their district and what they perceive as being most effective."
