In Memoriam
We are sad to announce the passing of Paul J. Andrews on January 1, 2022. Paul was one of the “Founding Fathers” of Massachusetts Partnerships for Youth (MPY) in 1988 and served continuously on the MPY Board of Directors since that time. Paul also was the Professional Development and Government Services Director for the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (MASS). Paul Andrews will be greatly missed.
