 The superintendent for the Staples-Montley School District has resigned. Mary Clam turned in her resignation at last night's Staples-Montley District School Board meeting. Sources within the district tell us the resignation, which is effective June 30th, came unexpectedly. The district posted a message on its Facebook page today, confirming the resignation and saying that the school board and current administration will continue to work together closely during this time of transition and the hiring process for a new superintendent. Efforts to reach Clam for comment have been unsuccessful so far, but in an email to district staff, she included a resignation letter which said, quote, it has been an honor and privilege to work with the Staples-Montley staff. She did not give a reason for why she is resigning. Clam was hired in July of 2015 as superintendent for the Staples-Montley School District. Prior to that, she served as superintendent for the Monaga School District.
