(CROSWELL-LEXINGTON) — There has been another resignation in the Cros-Lex School District. School Board President John Sprowl resigned Thursday. Sprowl’s resignation is the sixth in the past three months. The turmoil in the district began in May when Principals Ryan Cayce, MarK Benson, and Collette Moody resigned under pressure because of lapses in their certification. After public outcry, Sprowl asked for and received the resignations of Superintendent Julie Western and curriculum director Anne Wood. Recall proceedings are currently underway for four board members. Sprowl was not targeted for recall because his term ends in December and he did not seek re-election. Interim administrative assistant Alan Broughton says the district is looking for candidates to fill the remainder of Sprowl’s term. Those interested in filling the 4-month vacancy are asked to send a letter of application to interim superintendent Charles Smith, Cros-Lex Community Schools, Croswell. The application must be received by September 15th. The board is expected to fill the position at its meeting on September 20th.
