Poland schools to search for new superintendent
POLAND
The board of education is expected to accept the early retirement of Superintendent Robert Zorn at its Monday meeting.
Zorn has worked in the Poland schools for 42 years, serving as superintendent for 37. His retirement date is Dec. 31.
“He’s been a tremendous superintendent for our district. Losing him is difficult,” school board President Dr. Larry Dinopoulos said.
In his retirement letter sent to the board early last week, the superintendent said he felt the time was right, especially after his youngest grandchild graduated from Poland this year.
Zorn’s contract was not set to end until July 31, 2016.
The board will now begin a search for a superintendent at the same time it has placed a five-year, 5.9-mill emergency operating levy, expected to generate $2.2 million annually if approved, on the Nov. 6 ballot.
