(KMZA)--The Vermillion USD 380 Board of Education has begun the search for a new superintendent.
Citing family reasons, current Superintendent Mischel Miller has informed the Board she will be leaving the district at the end of the 2017-18 school year to take another position.
"It's been difficult for me to be away from my family in western Kansas," Miller told MSC News. "I have an 80-year-old mother whose there, and the idea was, in my mind, that she might want to come to eastern Kansas, and to Frankfort, which wasn't going to happen. So, I'll be leaving at the end my contract, June 30, 2018, to take a position in Topeka with the State Department of Education"
Miller says during the second semester she will be working on a part-time basis in the district as she transition's into her new position.
Miller has served as superintendent of USD 380 since July 2015.
"I couldn't be more pleased with my time here, and the folks that I've met. The kids are just outstanding. It's been a great opportunity, and I thank the district for giving me that chance."
Miller hasn’t submitted a letter of resignation yet.
During a special meeting September 11th, prior to their regular meeting, the USD 380 Board met with representatives from the Kansas Association of School Board's to discuss the superintendent search process.
