Unless Clarkston Board of Education intervenes, Superintendent Al Roberts will retire July 1.
‘The state’s legislative action has most people who are eligible to retire thinking seriously about that possibility,? Roberts said in an email announcing his decision, Monday, May 24. ‘Over the past few days, I have taken the opportunity to further study this option and have decided to retire from Clarkston Community Schools.?
Options for the school board include accepting the July 1 departure, extending his employment for 85 days at a third salary, or a one-year extension.
The school board needs to meet soon to figure it out, said Trustee Joan Patterson.
‘We need to have some open meetings sooner rather than later to see where we are,? Patterson said. ‘We don’t know the details yet.?
