Greenwich Schools Director of Human Resources Robert Stacy will depart the district and head to Stamford Schools. The appointment was announced by Stamford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Tamu Lucero and the Stamford Board of Education on Tuesday.
The Stamford Board of Education voted unanimously this week to name Mr. Stacy as the district’s executive director of human resources and talent development. The vote was held at a special meeting.
In an email to Greenwich Free Press, Mr. Stacy said, “I am honored by the opportunity Greenwich has given me these past four years. I will miss working with the exceptional staff in the District and my HR Team. I am ready for a new challenge, and this is a rare opportunity for me to be able to make a mark in a larger district.”
Mr. Stacy said he and his wife Susan moved to Greenwich four years ago when he took the job in Town.
“We will continue to be a part of the Greenwich community and I look forward to expanding my involvement in a more public level now,” he said.
Stacy’s last day in Greenwich is tentatively September 12.
“I want to make sure that the opening of schools goes smoothly from a Human Resources perspective,” he said.
Mr. Stacy, who replaced Robert Lichtenfeld who retired in 2015, arrived just in time for the John Yoon hearings, which carried on for nine days over the course of the summer and fall. Ultimately the longtime band director at Greenwich High School kept his position.
