Greetings one and all -

Weymouth lost a very valuable asset when Mary Jo Livingstone passed away unexpectedly on 13 April 2011. She was the Superintendent of Schools and took over that position in 2007, after being an assistant superintendent for 5 years. She was a 1975 graduate of Weymouth South High School and taught math in the Weymouth School system before moving into administration. She was a financial whiz and that knowledge paid off when the lean times hit town finances. She had the ability to look 2 to 3 years into financial future while preparing a budget. She knew how the budget of today would impact the budget of the future. She also knew just when the financial picture would be better and how to plan for that as well.

Mary Jo was an advocate for the schools and the students in this town. Job one for Mary Jo was education and how to make it to make it work it work best for the students. She understood every aspect of education better than anyone and that ability will be very much missed. Rest in peace, Mary Jo.
