Dr. Frank Ranelli said in a letter to the district that he will be resigning his position as of April 30, 2027.

Ranelli became superintendent in April 2025.
His announcement comes amid an ongoing dispute between the district and some parents over its technology policy. Some parents have complained their children were spending too much time on screens.
A group of parents sued the district in August, alleging it had violated their parental rights.
