Portsmouth Patch is reporting that at last night's meeting, the Portsmouth School Committee announced the appointment of Dr. Lynn Krizic as the district's new superintendent.

In a spooky coincidence, Dr. Krizic comes to Portsmouth from a district called Elmhurst in Illinois.

What are the odds, eh?

There's some coverage of Dr. Krizic on the Elmhurst Patch, including this piece on the controversy around her non-renewal, and this story which indicates that she took a $40K pay cut to come to Portsmouth. The comments on this Patch Q&A are pretty harsh, but just remember that every community has their Eastside and SoPo.
