What Cassandra Bromfield does

Harvard Public Schools is a municipal public school district serving the community of Harvard, Massachusetts (including Devens residents), operating three schools: Hildreth Elementary School, The Bromfield Middle School, and The Bromfield High School. The district provides PreK-12 public education spanning general academics, special education, English learner services, an integrated preschool program, McKinney-Vento homeless assistance, and college and career readiness programming that includes an 11th grade Tech Career Fair and a Global Competency Certificate pathway. Enrollment occurs primarily through direct district registration for Harvard and Devens residents, supplemented by a School Choice program accepting non-resident students.

The district's technology infrastructure is built on standard SaaS education platforms rather than proprietary systems. ParentSquare serves as both the CMS for the district website and the primary parent-school communication channel (supporting Google and Microsoft 365 SSO). PowerSchool handles student information, attendance, grades, and digital signatures for Special Education and Section 504 documents. Google Workspace for Education underpins internal operations including staff email, document collaboration, Google Forms-based data collection (work orders, transportation registration), and Google Meet. Teachpoint (Vector Evaluations+) tracks educator professional development and administrator/teacher evaluations.

As a government entity, Harvard Public Schools is governed by an elected School Committee under Massachusetts state education law and does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is generated through local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants. The district charges modest bus transportation fees ($300 per student with a $825 family cap for the 2026/2027 school year) and provides free universal school breakfast and lunch. A leadership transition is underway in 2026, with Dana Labb succeeding Dr. Linda Dwight as Superintendent and Molly Superchi joining as Assistant Superintendent.
