Superintendent Mike Moriarty tenders resignation as of June 30
|
By Craig Moorhead
Special for the Argus
Superintendent Michael Moriarty tendered his resignation at the April 20 meeting of the ISD #299 School Board. Effective June 30, 2009, both Moriarty and middle/high school principal Ronald Helmers will be leaving.
Moriarty, who had another year left on his contract, had been hinting to the board of education for several months that he was considering giving up the post of superintendent.
Directors voted to hire an “interim” superintendent for the coming school year while they looked into future options, including sharing an administrator with another school district.
Moriarty suggested that the board contact to Minnesota School Board Association to obtain a list of available applicants who would be qualified to fill the interim position. Board members agreed. Directors Charlie Wray, Jean Meyer, and Matt Hendel were appointed to find an interim superintendent.
Prior to the meeting, Moriarty told this correspondent that he was planning on keeping his current position as Brownsville City Clerk, and was looking at doing “something different.”
Moriarty told the board that 27 applicants had filed for the middle/high principal position. After a protracted discussion, the board voted 6-1 to replace Helmers’ job with another principal, which was the “status quo” option discussed at the April 6 meeting. Director Jean Meyer cast the only “no” vote.
