Concord School Board will vote on the nomination of Kyle Repucci, currently the superintendent of schools in Rochester, to be the next principal at Broken Ground elementary at its meeting Monday night. 

Repucci has been superintendent in the Lilac City for the last five years and was the assistant superintendent for three years before that, according to the district’s nominating document. He also spent a total of 10 years as a middle school and then a high school principal in Epping.

Repucci would replace Susan Lauze at Broken Ground, who is retiring after more than 20 years at the helm. During budget workshops, a proposal by Superintendent Kathleen Murphy to combine the principal positions at Broken Ground and the adjoining Mill Brook school was withdrawn after outcry from teachers and skepticism from the board.  The  search to replace Lauze began in March. The nomination includes an annual salary of about $139,000.

The school board is also set for an update on its committees’ progress in choosing construction leaders and creating a design for the new middle school. A new cost estimate for the project is expected in early June. 

The meeting will begin at 5:45 p.m. when Repucci will introduce himself and field questions from the board.
