At last week’s Cobb Board of Education meeting the retirement of three principals at East Cobb schools was announced, effective at the end of the current school year.
They are Susan Hallmark of Addison Elementary School, Lynn Hamblett of Murdock Elementary School and Laura Montgomery of Hightower Trail Middle School.
The retirements of Hallmark and Hamblett are effective June 1; Montgomery’s retirement begins on July 1.
They’re the among the first principals in the district to announce their retirements.
Their replacements have not yet been determined; when there are staffing changes at the principal level or above, the school board makes final decisions on those moves.
The district said last week that 98 percent of employees have renewed their contracts for the 2021-22 school year. A virtual hiring fair is ongoing now as the district seeks to fill more than 750 teaching slots in a hybrid learning program that will include expanded online options.
