The superintendent's retirement had not yet been approved, but will likely become effective on Feb. 28 if approved. Malone had been eligible for retirement for a while, he said.

"Some of the work has obviously been very difficult and complex," Malone said. "It's a very joyous situation for me but it's also work I enjoy doing very much, so it's somewhat of a struggle."

Members of the committee congratulated Malone and thanked him for his service with the district. Malone has been with the district since 2016.
