Superintendent James Weiss
retires from a place in the sun
to a seat on the beach
For the first time in his
46 years as an educator,
newly retired Martha’s
Vineyard Superintendent
of Schools James Weiss can
look forward to an unending
school vacation. On
Monday, June 29, as students
squirmed through a half-day
at school and then began
their long-awaited summer
vacation, Mr. Weiss finished
his 10th school year at the
helm of Martha’s Vineyard
Public Schools (MVPS). That
Wednesday he started his
first day of retirement.
Mr. Weiss spoke with The
Times in his office amid
his busy end-of-the-year
schedule, about the decade
he spent at the helm of the
Island’s Superintendency
Union No. 19. His
responsibilities included the
Island’s six public schools,
which operate as five
separate political entities: the
Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and
Tisbury K-8 school districts;
a regional K-8 school district
for the up-Island towns of
Aquinnah, Chilmark, and
West Tisbury; and a regional
high school district.
“I’ve been a superintendent
for 26 years, 10 of them here,
and this has clearly been the
best job I had,” Mr. Weiss
said, in his characteristically
upbeat and cheerful manner.
“And it’s because of the
people. People really band
together when there’s a
crisis. People will step up to
the plate and do what needs
to be done, and I find that
very refreshing and very
important. So from that point
of view, this has been a great
place to work for 10 years and
finish my career.”A self-professed beach
lover, the well-liked and
respected superintendent
received a gift basket of
beach-related items to enjoy
in his retirement from Oak
Bluffs School, as well as a
new beach chair from the
high school class of 2015 at
their graduation ceremonies,
which he attended. He said
he’s already tried it out.
“I’m ready to sit on the
beach and not do anything
else,” Mr. Weiss said. “A
couple of people have said to
me, Are you going to be an
interim someplace; are you
going to do consulting? And
the answer is no.”Mr. Weiss said he plans
to take the first year of
retirement to travel a bit and
figure out what he is going to
do next.“But it won’t be anything to
do with schools,” he added.
“First of all, I’ve done enough,
and it’s time. Secondly, I
certainly wouldn’t do it here.
Other people are going to do
that, and I don’t want to be in
their way. And I have no real
desire to keep going.”
The highs and lows
Asked what he considers
some of the high points of
his Vineyard career, Mr.
Weiss said three things
came to mind: changes to
elementary-level mathematics
and the beginning of honors
algebra; the addition of a
nursing-assistant program at
Martha’s Vineyard Regional
High School (MVRHS); and a
move by all the schools to add
enrichment programs.
“We’ve done a lot of things
to push our kids, and I think
that’s a good thing,” he said
of the enrichment programs.
“We also at the same time
have added a lot of supports
— remedial teachers — and
I say those two together,
because really, what we’re
trying to do is teach every
child. Not just the ones in
the middle; the students who
are at the top, to get them
accelerated learning, and the
ones who are struggling, to
get them some support.”
Mr. Weiss said he is also
proud of the connections
the MVPS made in
the community with
organizations such as the
YMCA and the Sharks
baseball team, as well as
community partners such as
the Island Grown Initiative,
the Yard, and Felix Neck.
The growth of shared-
service programs is another
highlight, he added, such
as the Bridge Program
for students with autism-
spectrum disorders and
communication and social-
interaction disorders, Project
Headway preschool special
education services, and social
skills classes.And if he could snap his
fingers to instantly change
something that has been
the most challenging and
frustrating for him these past
10 years?“You’re sitting in it —
this building,” Mr. Weiss
answered, without a
moment’s hesitation. The
current superintendent’s
offices are housed in a
cramped, deteriorating
former church, built 90
years ago, at 4 Pine Street in
Tisbury.A warrant article
sponsored by the MVRHS
school committee and
town selectmen and
finance committees asked
voters at town meetings
Island-wide in the spring
to approve borrowing $3.9
million to fund the design
and construction and to
equip and furnish a new
administrative building on
the high school’s grounds.
The article failed to achieve
unanimous approval in all six
towns.“I understand that we
didn’t do a good job of
marketing it this year at town
meetings, and there were lots of
other things on the
warrants, but this
building doesn’t
work,” Mr. Weiss
said.“We’ve had
people who are handicapped who
can’t come in; it’s a
real problem. And
the HVAC doesn’t
work; the electrical
system doesn’t work; there’s no
confidentiality or privacy. It really has been a
struggle, and we
haven’t gotten very
far. That’s a real
disappointment.”
Lessons of a decade
When asked what he
considers unique about the
Vineyard’s education system,
Mr. Weiss said after attending
town meetings and school
graduations Island-wide,
what stands out for him is
that the small Island’s six
towns are so very different.
“And you know that,
sure, there are going to be
differences here, but the
amount of difference, the
amount of challenge in some
of these communities, is
really surprising,” he added.
“And the whole notion of, ‘We
can’t give up our school, we
can’t give up what’s special to
us, and work together,’ makes
it difficult.”Mr. Weiss said although
most of school budgets go to
fund personnel, some savings
could be achieved through
efficiency if schools were
willing to put aside their

Collecting the ad for output• File – collect for output, in this window, make sure that all the following check boxes are checked: Document, Linked Pictures, Embedded Pictures, Color Profiles, Screen Fonts, Printer Fonts.• Stuff, zip, or compress the files before e-mailing.
Ads Created in Photoshop • If providing layered files, also send us the fonts used in the ad. In case an error is found in the proofing process, we can correct it in-house.• If sending a flattened file, there is no need to provide the fonts.• Photoshop ads with text must be a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Ads Created in Microsoft Word(Not recommended)• We try to match fonts as closely as possible to those submitted. Since fonts differ on PCs and MACs, substitutions are often necessary.• Supply images, if any, to accompany the Word document.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER• When creating an ad, please make the document size the same size as the ad itself, per MV Times ad sizes (i.e. if the ad is 2 module wide x 1 module high), then the document size should also be this size). See the Ad dimensions page for ad sizes.• Pictures should be 300 dpi.• Line art (scans of logos etc.) should be 600 dpi.• Color ads should be submitted in CMYK. (Don’t use RGB or indexed colors.)• If placing a black & white ad, make sure all ad components are in grayscale prior to making the PDF. (No parts of the ad should have any color elements whatsoever.)• Size all photos close to (but not smaller than) the size(s) being used in the ad.• EPS files in PDFs can be problematic. Make sure that fonts in EPSs are turned to outlines before saving the final file as a PDF.• Save PDFs as Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6)• Always check a PDF for accuracy before submitting it.• Web images are 72 dpi (low resolution), and will not reproduce as good quality images in print. We require 300 dpi for printed images in the newspaper (A web image will only reproduce reasonably well IF it is three times the size of the final intended printed image).• All ads go through a proofing process; and we may make changes to adhere to our house style. • We reserve the right to substitute fonts when necessary.
2. YOU PROVIDE THE AD CAMERA-READYWE SCAN YOUR AD – When you provide us with a camera-ready ad we will use our high-resolution scanners to convert the ad to digital form.FOR BEST RESULTS – Be sure the ad is the right size, the print is of high quality (laser), and the ad is all line art. Grayscale and color ads can be scanned but qual-ity will seldom equal or exceed that of the original. Avoid small serif fonts and tight registration. Avoid dropout type except with black backgrounds, and make sure the dropout text is bold. Remember, we print on newsprint.
3. WE MAKE YOUR ADFREE AD CREATION – We will create your ad at no charge. Just provide the copy and we do the rest. If you require a proof of your ad, please allow extra time.SCANNING IMAGES – We can scan art or photographs you provide. The best results come from quality photos, negatives, slides, or black-and-white line art.

Working from your ideas, Times designers can add the fonts, graphic elements, borders, shading, images, and color necessary to make your message stand out. Except in unusual cases, there is no charge for this extra work, although modest fees may be added for photographs taken by Times photographers for advertisers. Each advertisement will be designed to be unique. Our designers do not copy for one advertiser the design elements, fonts, or styles employed by other advertisers, and we do not discuss the advertising plans of our advertisers with other customers or the public.
