Swampscott High's principal since 2010, Layne Millington, talks about his early departure.
Principal Layne Millington’s early departure from Swampscott High will give him more time with his family and time to transition to his new position in Marblehead. The time off will be a mini-sabbatical, of sorts, the principal said in an interview Wednesday. He will get to spend more time with injured and sick members of his family. His 11-year-old son is in a cast, having suffered a broken leg. His mom, a resident at Brooksby Village in Peabody, is sick. The principal’s last day at the school will be May 28, but he will be at the Class of 2013's graduation ceremony June 2. The principal said his focus, through June 2, will be on the graduating seniors, preparing for and seeing through their ceremonies. These include the class awards …

Turnover in our schools.
The announcement this week that our high school principal, Layne Millington, has resigned to become principal of Marblehead High brings an opportunity for us to learn from the past and improve the process for selecting and retaining our next high school principal. There are many things that will always remain outside our control, but other factors we can and should control. We have an opportunity here. First, we are hearing quite a bit about turnover. People are wondering why Swampscott has so much. Is it a problem unique to Swampscott or part of trend that is occurring in towns and cities across America? If so, should we conduct searches or grow talent from within? Turnover is the new reality Before we go too far down that road, we need…
