Hollister School District Superintendent Gary McIntire will retire at the end of this school year, according to an email he sent to employees, friends and the Free Lance.
“I wanted to be sure to notify the Board of my pending retirement with enough notice that they will have plenty of time to find a replacement to begin the 2016-2017 school year in July,” McIntire wrote in the email.
Trustees will be presented with his letter of retirement Tuesday evening at the regularly scheduled board meeting, according to the message. His last official day of work in the district will be June 30, 2016, he wrote.
“The Board will most likely meet in early to mid January to discuss the next steps they will take to find a new superintendent for the Hollister School District,” he explained.
During a special meeting in early November, the board considered a complaint filed against the superintendent during closed session but did not specify the type of allegation. Based on the findings of an independent investigator, the trustees voted unanimously to dismiss the complaint, according to minutes from the meeting.
