“I wanted to give the board a significant runway for recruiting my successor, so I’ve decided to let everyone know that I’ll be stepping down at the end of my contract,” Sousa said in a written statement.

Most recently, Sousa has shepherded the district through approval of a $112 million bond issue for a new middle and high school.
