Massachusetts Gov.-elect Maura Healey and Lt. Gov-elect Kim Driscoll are slowly building up their Cabinet, adding Patrick Tutwiler as education secretary on Friday.
Tutwiler has over 20 years of experience in public education as a high school history teacher, high school principal and superintendent of the Lynn Public Schools, according to Healey's transition team. He currently works as senior program officer for education at the Boston-based Barr Foundation. According to LinkedIn, he was headmaster at Brighton High School for two years ending in 2015 and before that was principal of Wayland High School for six years ending in 2013.
In his current role, Tutwiler specializes in developing new high school models, Healey and Driscoll said. He's worked in high schools around the state, and as Lynn superintendent, he increased graduation rates, hired a more racially diverse faculty and staff and established Massachusetts' second largest early college program, according to Healey.
With education relief funds flowing into the state from the federal government, the state Student Opportunity Act and, soon, the new surtax on annual household income above $1 million, state education officials and advocates are all eyeing the large funding pot going into Healey's first year as governor.
