Search for a New Dighton-Rehoboth Business Manager

The search is on for a new Business Manager for the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District.

Robert Baxter, who had served in the position for two years, tendered his resignation last month.

Superintendent Bill Runey praised Baxter’s work for the district.

“He made our district better than it was before he got here,” Runey said at the August 8 school committee meeting. “I also think it’s a real testament to the teamwork we’ve built over the course of the last 13 months.”

Runyed noted there will be a screening committee with school representation.

Baxter had previously served as Director of Finance and Operations for the Warwick, Rhode Island school district.

“I am very proud of and have every confidence in the newly formed business office team, whose accomplishments are already becoming evident, and who will only continue to strengthen in their skills and efficiency,” Baxter wrote in his July 19 resignation letter.
