Gainesville R-V Public Schools Superintendent Joe Donley officially resigned from his position recently to take Superintendent Don Yarger's place at Mark Twain R-VIII schools in Rueter. Donley will finish out the school year then make the move, to replace Yarger, who is retiring July First.
According to the Ozark County Times, Gainesville School Board members voted four to three in January to not extend Donley's contract which was to run through the 2017-2018 school year.
Gainesville Board President Corey Hillhouse said, in a phone conversation with KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot News, he voted in favor of extending Donley's contract because he felt he was doing an good job. Those also voting in favor were Vice-President Marti Warden and member Jerry Kiger. Heather Bushner, Billy Pippin, Wes Uchtman and Robby Walwrath voted not to extend Donley's contract.
Donley has been the district Superintendent four four-and-a-half years. Prior to the position he served as principal of Gainesville High School for seven years and was a teacher and coach for five years.
Donley says he is excited for the opportunity to work with Mark Twain Public Schools and is thankful for the 17 years he's been part of the Gainesville School District.
Meanwhile, Hillhouse recently announced a search is underway for a new Gainesville Superintendent.
