WELLSBURG -- The Brooke County School Board will begin a search for a new superintendent after Mary Kay DeGarmo submitted a request for her retirement.
According to DeGarmo, it is time to retire, giving June 30 as her last official day.
The board accepted her retirement at the March 8 meeting.
Her retirement comes on the heels of a tumultuous school year.
At the beginning of this year, one of the high school’s assistant football coaches, Zach Harvey, was accused of sharing plays with a rival team. Those accusations were unfounded.
Recently, the high school wrestling Coach Harry Alward, 51, was arrested shortly after the OVAC Wrestling Tournament in Wheeling, accused of soliciting a prostitute.
A few weeks later, acting wrestling Coach Jonathan McFarland was arrested in Ohio County for an alleged DUI.
McFarland is currently on a leave of absence from the district.
The district named Rod Pattison, a vocational teacher at the high school, as interim head wrestling coach. |
