They also acknowledged his work navigating a recent controversy in Southborough over K-8 MCAS growth scores, which were lower than some other comparable communities.
“Dr. Gobron made a compelling case that too much of a focus on MCAS scores could cause our district to veer away from the goals of educating the whole child and focusing on 21st century skills,” they wrote, praising a statement he made to that effect at a recent meeting.
“It was a powerful moment for those of us who recognize the tremendous strengths of our district,” committee members wrote.
