M.A.S.S. noted Superintendent Anderson “represents superintendents on the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) Board of Directors and the M.A.S.S. Legislative Racial, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee. In addition, he is serving as co-facilitator for the Urban Superintendents Network.”
The award citation noted “despite the many responsibilities as New Bedford superintendent, Thomas has increasingly been a visible presence and influential leader with his peers and around state education policy. His collaborative style and openness is matched by his strong core values and willingness to challenge policies and practices, which are in the best interest of students and good education practice. M.A.S.S. is proud to recognize Thomas Anderson with the 2022 President’s Award.”
