    The Springfield Roman Catholic Diocese will for the first time have a lay person as chief administrator of its school system.

    Bishop Mitchell Rozanski Tuesday announced the appointment of Daniel Baillargeon as the new diocesan superintendent of schools effective July 1st.

    He takes over a Catholic school system in western Massachusetts that has gone through closings and consolidations over the last decade and now has 13 elementary and secondary schools with an enrollment of about 2,700 students.

   WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Baillargeon.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
