Dear Lunenburg Families, It is with great excitement, deep gratitude, and a full heart that I introduce myself as your new Superintendent. I feel truly honored to join this incredible community—and I want you to know that this isn’t just a professional milestone for me, it’s deeply personal. Education is not just my work—it’s my calling, my passion, and the purpose that guides me every day. From my earliest days as a teacher, I’ve always believed that the strongest schools are built on strong partnerships—especially with families. You are your child’s first and most important teacher, and your care, insight, and support are at the very heart of student success. I see families as essential collaborators in shaping the learning experiences we offer, and I am eager to learn from you. As I begin this new chapter in Lunenburg, my focus is on listening—truly listening—to your stories, your questions, and your hopes for our schools. To help us get started, I’ll be hosting two informal Superintendent Meet-and-Greet Listening Tours this summer: Monday, July 21st from 8:00–10:00 AM Wednesday, August 20th from 5:30–7:30 PM LMS Collaborative Room D132 These gatherings will be relaxed, family-friendly opportunities to connect, share, and begin building the relationships that will guide our work together. I’d love to meet you, hear your perspectives, and begin imagining the future of Lunenburg Public Schools—together. My approach to leadership is grounded in collaboration, equity, and deep respect for the people who make a school community thrive. I’m committed to supporting our amazing educators and staff, and just as committed to walking alongside you—our families—so every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. Lunenburg is already such a special place, and I’m truly thrilled to be part of this next chapter. Thank you for the warm welcome—I can’t wait to meet you soon and begin this exciting journey together. With gratitude and excitement, Jodi Fortuna Ed.D Superintendent, Lunenburg Public Schools
