USD 320 Wamego superintendent Tim Winter has announced that he will be stepping down from his role.
Winter says he will stay on with the district as an eighth grade math teacher at Wamego Middle School, where he hopes to reconnect with students.
“I went into education to work with kids and I enjoyed my 12 years of teaching and then was a principle for 12 years,” Winter said. “All of those years, I was able to build wonderful relationships and be involved in the celebrations and activities with students. You do your best as a superintendent but it’s just more and more challenging.
Winter is contracted to serve as Wamego’s superintendent through the end of July.
He says since it is a late resignation, he will stick around to help the district through the transition.
“It will be a challenge to find an interim and that’s the direction the board will most likely go, is with an interim for a year and then start a superintendent search during the school year next year for the following year,” Winter said. ”
