Harford Schools Administrator Retiring To Continue Golf Career

Associate Superintendent Bill Lawrence's colorful retirement letter to fellow administrators also outlined his appreciation for Harford County Public Schools.

Bill Lawrence, Harford County's Associate Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, sent a colorful email to fellow administrators this week, announcing that he, too, would be leaving his post on June 30.

As HCPS enters a phase of transition I am taking this opportunity to move into another round of my golf career.

As of June 30, 2013, I am resigning my position as Associate Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment.  I have enjoyed my work with the HCPS community tremendously and am most impressed that most of you either send, have sent or will send your children to our schools.  There is no higher compliment to an organization.  HCPS is a good school system striving to be great and to provide the BEST for ALL of its students.  It has been an honor and a privilege to work with you.

ENJOY IN PEACE
