Contract Extended for New London Interim Supterintendent

The New London Board of Education has extended the interim superintendent's contract through Nov. 21 while the search continues for a permanent replacement.

According to the board, Richard Foye, who was originally contracted to serve a 90-day term, will continue another month as acting superintendent.

Foye was appointed Aug. 6 after Terrence Carter, the candidate who was selected to come on as full-time superintendent, allegedly lied about his qualifications and did not earn the doctorate degree he was set to receive.

Carter's contract was rescinded in August when the board voted unanimously to rescind the job offer.

The Board of Education has planned a tentative meeting to identify another acting superintendent prior to Nov. 21 until a permanent replacement is selected.

Foye previously served as interim superintendent in New London from August 2033 to January 2004.
