Matt Robinson to Resign as Worth County Superintendent

Worth County Superintendent Matt Robinson told the Sheridan Express Monday that he will be resigning at the end of the school year to take the superintendent's position at Cameron. He said that he had gotten a much better job offer and that he would be closer to his family.

He said that the biggest accomplishment of his tenure was continued improvement in student achievements and working with kids in ways that meant something. He said that other accomplishments that occurred while he was superintendent were going to paperless board minutes as well as other technology projects. He said that the budget was headed in the right direction after two years of deficit spending which he said would help in the event of further state and federal cutbacks.

Robinson said that the challenge for the next superintendent would be to continue to look at student achievement and find ways of making it better. He said that while the budget was on the right track, future administrations still needed to run a tight budget due to reduced funding. "We need to make sure that we're doing the best we can with what we've got," he said.

Robinson said that he had enjoyed his stay at Worth County. "My leaving here had nothing to do with Worth County," he said. "Cameron was too good of an opportunity for me to pass up."
