(KAIR)--Resignations are accepted, and the search for a new Superintendent of Schools is set to begin.

That's the outcome of a special meeting Monday evening of the USD 377 Board of Education.

According to information provided by the District Office for the Atchison County Community Schools, the board, during the session, formally accepted the resignation of Superintendent Steve Wiseman.

Wiseman, after 12-years in that role, submitted his letter of resignation on April 20, having accepted a mathematics teaching position with the Saint Joseph, Missouri Public Schools. “I've always had a passion for math,” Wiseman said during an April 20 interview with MSC News. “The opportunity to get back to the classroom and work one on one with students is very appealing to me. I'm just really looking forward to it. Excited.”

Wiseman's resignation is effective June 30.

The search for a new Superintendent for USD 377 is now set to begin, with the board Monday evening agreeing to enter into a contract with the Kansas Association of School Boards. According to documents related to Monday evening's meeting, the partnership comes at a cost of $3,750, and means the association will lead the search effort.

Along with that of Wiseman, the board also accepted another resignation.

That comes as 4th grade elementary teacher Jennifer Dobbs decides to exit her role.
