The principal who was hired to lead a three-year reform to boost academic performance at Winooski High School will not oversee the final year of the effort.
Justin Brown submitted a letter of resignation in November after 17 months on the job. His last day will be June 30, which would bring him through the second year of the three-year federal School Improvement Grants (SIG) program.
"After a great deal of personal and professional reflection I have come to the conclusion that my skill set as an administrator is not the match for the challenges that lay ahead for Winooski High School," Brown wrote in his letter of resignation.
He declined this week to elaborate on why he is leaving his $77,250-a-year job and referred questions to Winooski Superintendent of Schools Mary Martineau.
