Board accepts resignation of middle school principal
Brenda Geitzenauer
In a brief, special meeting held on July 15, the Humboldt School Board accepted the resignation of middle school principal Brenda Geitzenauer.
The board voted 5-0 to accept the resignation immediately. There was no formal announcement from Geitzenauer or the district.
“Today I will send out a memo to all middle school staff, updating them where we are at and the vision of what we are going to do going forward,” School Superintendent Jim Murray said.
“We have just posted the position and we have received interest from one outside party, but I don’t expect a lot of interest from outside folks that would be looking for middle school employment at this time,” Murray said.
“We do have a few certified people in the district that either have their administrative degree or are working on it,” Murray said. “I have talked with Creighton (Jenness, assistant middle school principal), and Abby (Horbach, assistant high school principal). I’ll talk to the administrative team this week to see what kind of adjusting we can do, then we’ll proceed from there.”
“I don’t know if I’ll find someone from the outside but I would anticipate we will do some juggling of staff to get through the year. If we have a staff member who is interested in being the principal and we feel is a right fit…we also might make it a one-year position and advertise it in February, kind of like we did for guidance. Counselor and get through the school year,” Murray said.
