Bob Davis, assistant principal of Wrangell’s high school and middle school, has submitted his resignation and plans to retire at the end of the school year.
The resignation was on the agenda for Monday’s school board meeting and will take effect next June.
“When I took this job, I made it clear that I had a maximum expiration date of three years,” Davis said. “This is my second. From the time I signed my contract this last spring, I’ve made it clear that this would be my last year.”
Davis has been a teacher at the middle school since 1994. He became assistant principal for the middle and high schools in the summer of 2020, when the previous principal resigned.
He said he wanted to put in his notice early enough so that the district would have plenty of time to find a replacement. “The district has a long history of waiting until the last minute when the best and brightest applicants have already been signed by other districts,” Davis said.
Schools Superintendent Bill Burr said the process to fill the position has begun.
