Brian Pekarek, USD 257 Superintendent of Schools, submitted his resignation effective June 30, at Monday night’s board meeting.
“I took another position in western Kansas, closer to family,” Pekarek said this morning. “This was a difficult decision for me and my wife but we were both raised in smaller communities, both went to 1-A school districts and we saw this move as a better fit for us.”
“Things lined up and we couldn’t neglect the opportunity to be close to family,” Pekarek said.
Pekarek, who is in his second year with the school district, said he wanted to give the board ample time to find a replacement.
