Liverpool Central School District Superintendent Janice H. Matousek announced today that she will be retiring effective July 31.
Matousek could not be reached for comment, but the district clerk, Susan Grier, confirmed that the superintendent is stepping down.
Sara Daggett, president of the United Liverpool Faculty Association since 2002, said Matousek called her earlier today to deliver the news.
“She did not give a reason,” Daggett said.
Daggett said she’s known Matousek for more than three decades.
“I’ve known her for all of my 32 years here, first as a teacher and then as an administrator,” she said. “The last few months have been very difficult for everybody here in Liverpool, but no matter what side of the fence you fall on, you can’t diminish her commitment and compassion for our students.”
Daggett said she wasn’t sure what the next steps would be for the district, but she was sure that commitment would continue.
“For the remainder of this year, we will continue to show that commitment to Liverpool’s students,” she said. “And we certainly wish Jan the best.”
