The Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center School District Superintendent is stepping down.

Superintendent Dennis McClain submitted  his resignation at a joint school board meeting between Adair-Casey and Guthrie Center Wednesday night. 

McClain tells Raccoon Valley Radio why he is resigning.

“I just had conversations with my wife, we just decided for us it was time to do something different so getting it out early is going to provide the both of the districts time to do what they need to do and give me time to decide what that change will be.”

McClain will finish out his contract until June 30, 2022 and in the meantime both school boards will be seeking and interviewing candidates for a new superintendent.
