The Superintendent of the Treynor Community School District for the past 19-years has tendered his resignation, effective at the end of the current school year. A message posted on the District’s website today (Thursday) said “Superintendent Kevin Elwood submitted his letter of resignation to the Board of Education last evening in a special session. He stated in an email to staff that he had been informed last week that the Treynor BOE was interested in making a leadership change. For the last few days, they had been discussing paths for that opportunity. The Board approved the resignation and separation agreement effective at the end of his current contract, June 30, 2017.”

In his email, Elwood said “The board-superintendent relationship is one which must be built on open-communication, trust and respect. Over the years I have enjoyed a very positive relationship with the board. However, that relationship has been eroding. Therefore, I’m Stepping aside to allow our outstanding students and staff the opportunity to continue to flourish.”

He ended his email by stating “I wish only the best for the students, staff and district moving forward. I’m grateful to have been part of the Treynor Community Schools for the past 19 years”.
