The superintendent of the Red Oak Community School District announced his intent Thursday evening to resign at the end of the school year. The Daily NonPareil reports Superintendent Terry Schmidt told the school board, which was meeting during a special meeting for other personnel matters, that he would resign effective June 30th. Formal action on his letter of resignation will be considered at Monday’s regular board meeting.

Schmidt declined to be interviewed, asking media requests be made to school board president Lee Fellers. Fellers declined to comment on the reason for the resignation. Fellers said the district appreciated Schmidt’s eight years of service, including progress on several fronts for the school district. He said, based on conversations he had previously, he was not shocked by the announcement, which was not listed as an action item on Thursday’s agenda.
