Aubrey ISD will be looking for a new superintendent. Dr. Shannon Saylor announced Monday that she plans to retire, ending a career that she said spans 32 years in education, 26 of them in Aubrey.
In a letter the district posted to its website Monday afternoon, Saylor said trustees will consider her retirement agreement at their next meeting. The district calendar lists that meeting for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Aubrey ISD Administration Office, 415 Tisdell Lane.
The letter did not give a final work date. Saylor wrote that she wants the handoff to go smoothly and that she hopes a successor can be named "in late March."
She wrote that she watched Aubrey ISD grow from a district of two campuses into the one it is today, and that families choosing to move there had been one of the rewards of the job.
Saylor described the district as part of her family's story. Her family includes two Aubrey ISD graduates, her mother spent 11 years working at Brockett, her daughter began her teaching career in the district and her daughter-in-law worked there for five years.
She said she is retiring to spend more time with her grandchildren and her mother.
