Solas Praises D-R Leadership

Rehoboth Selectman George Solas had some kind words to say about the leadership of the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District Monday.

“I think it’s so important for people to understand how the attitude and the respect that our schools are getting outside from where we live,” Solas said. “We’re growing past what we’ve gone through.”

Superintendent Bill Runey has been with the district for nearly two years.

At a meeting with the Board in 2022, Runey explained his focus was to work on rebuilding trust between the regional school district and the town of Rehoboth.

Last weekend, Steve Donovan, Principal of Beckwith Middle School, was named Principal of the Year, and Beckwith teacher Sarah Boutsady was honored as Teacher of the Year by The Massachusetts Congress of Parents and Teachers, also known as the Massachusetts State PTA.
