The former Greater Lawrence Technical School administrator who was falsely identified in a school press release as recipient of an educator of the year award, was hired as director of Medford Vocational Technical High School.

Heidi Riccio, 43, of Salisbury, separated from her job as director of career and technical education at Greater Lawrence shortly after she was placed on leave following revelations she was identified in a GLTS press release containing her picture and a quote as “Educator of the Year” by the New York City-based Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE).

Roy E. Belson, superintendent of Medford Public Schools, said he and the interviewers were impressed by her experience and her answers to their questions about education. He views the erroneous press release as a result of miscommunication, and that he would not have acted as Greater Lawrence Tech had.
