MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The leader of Montgomery’s public school system is resigning after just two years in the role.
Superintendent Melvin J. Brown, in a statement Saturday, said he plans to resign Nov. 1, al.com reported.
Brenda Coleman, president of the Montgomery County Board of Education, said news of the resignation has brought mixed emotions.
“Dr. Brown has done an outstanding job for the Montgomery Public School system. He is one of the best superintendents that I have ever had the opportunity to work with and he has moved this district forward in a swift and positive manner,” Coleman said in statement.
Brown said news of his looming resignation was shared publicly without his consent.
“This is yet another example of what has made this work that much more difficult,” he said. “We will have more details in the coming days and look forward to providing additional context.”
Brown said he will “move on to new challenges” and will help the district with the transition as he leaves his role.
“I am infinitely grateful for the time that I have spent here and for the many accomplishments and innovations that we, as a staff, have achieved,” he said.
