Matt Martz Named New Worth County Superintendent; Four Resignations Accepted

The Worth County School Board at their regular meeting Thursday night, named Matt Martz of St. Joseph as the new superintendent for the school effective July 1, 2013. They hired him for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years. His salary will be $82,500 per year and they voted to pay $1000 towards his moving expenses. He has a wife, Elizabeth (Beth), and two daughters, Emily (20) and Dora (14). Emily is currently attending Graceland where she is majoring in Physical Education. Dora will be a student at Worth County next year as a freshman.

Martz was an elementary principal at St. Joseph and also worked at North Callaway before he came to Worth County. He said that he had wanted to be a superintendent for some time and that the reason he was attracted to Worth County was that he knew a lot of people here.

The board also voted to accept the resignations of four personnel -- Stephanie Bickel (Vocal Music), Deanna Carpenter (K-8 Guidance), LaCosta Rennells (Elementary), and Shelly Straight (Custodian).
