Hello Rangers,

At a special meeting of the board of directors on April 26th, I submitted a letter of resignation, effective June 30th.

A copy of the letter is below. I want each of you to know that this was not an easy or quick decision on my part. There is so much that we have been able to accomplish over the five years I have been able to serve as your superintendent, and I know there is much more we could do together.

There are a few reasons I need to move on, the most significant being that Sharon (my guiding and guardian angel that the term "wife" does not adequately capture) has been accepted to begin her Ph.D. at Penn State next year and I need to be closer to her and support her next exciting adventure just as she has supported me for more than 25 years.

I will miss our work together and the relationships we have established both to support our students and each other.

If you want to talk more, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to come by the office, stop me in the hallway, text - whatever makes sense for you.

I am sure you are wondering "what now" for the role of superintendent for Quilcene. The board will be working that out over the next couple of weeks. I will stay engaged to help and ensure a smooth transition.

Proud to be a Ranger with you,

Frank
