ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – Maryland State Schools Superintendent Nancy Grasmick says she is retiring June 30 after serving 20 years in the job.
Grasmick told The Associated Press in a telephone interview on Wednesday she wants more flexibility in her life after serving for such a long time.
She also noted that Maryland’s schools have received the top ranking in a survey by a national education publication for three years in a row, and that it’s a good time to pass the job on to someone else.
Grasmick said she informed Gov. Martin O’Malley of her retirement plans by letter.
She says whatever disagreements she’s had with O’Malley, they resolved differences and worked collaboratively for the better of state schools.
