(KMZA)--Axtell Public School Principal Larry Geist has resigned, effective at the end of the current school year.
The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education accepted his resignation, with regret, during a special meeting Tuesday evening.
In his letter of resignation, Geist says he has accepted an offer to become superintendent and K-12 principal of USD 399 in Russell County.
In the letter, Geist said he has thoroughly enjoyed his time in Axtell and USD 113 but feels its an opportunity he must pursue as they have offered his wife a position in the district as well.
Geist has been principal at Axtell for one year.
Superintendent Todd Evans says the Board has already begun the search for a new principal.
