FALL RIVER — With three weeks left before the start of school in Fall River, the public school district is building its administrative team. 

Superintendent Tracy Curley on Thursday promoted Brian Raposo, principal of Talbot Middle School, to assistant superintendent and chief academic officer — her old job. On Monday, she named B.M.C. Durfee High School Principal Matthew Desmarais as the new director of social studies. 

“Having worked within our district for the past 15 years, I have seen firsthand how the dedication, hard work, and passion of our staff, families and community members can enhance the student experience," Curley wrote in a letter introducing herself to parents in the school district on Monday. “I am hopeful that, together, we will achieve great things.”
