Andover Public Schools announced that they have hired Mike Pfifferling, the current Marblehead assistant superintendent for finance and operations. Pfifferling will fill the same role in Andover starting this fall, according to the Andover News.
Superintendent John Robidoux called Pifferling “the right person for the job at the right time. He worked well as a member of our central office administrative team and collaborated effectively with the town entities during a time of fiscal upheaval. We appreciate the work he has done and feel that he has set the stage well for his replacement. Once we have received his official resignation, we will work to take the next steps in transition. He has indicated that he will fulfill his contractual obligations which outlines a 90-day period for departure. This will allow for what we hope will be a seamless transition.”
According to the Andover News, Andover Superintendent Keith Taverna announced Pfifferling’s hiring in a message to staff and families, saying that Pfifferling will begin this fall.
Pfifferling started in Marblehead in 2024 and worked closely with district and town leaders to reduce the MPS budget for fiscal 2027. He also worked on the $15 million, three-year override passed at Town Meeting.
Town Administrator Thatcher Kezer announced this summer that he will be retiring early, in December. Town Finance Director Aleesha Benjamin has also left Marblehead for a job in Nantucket.
