Jim Henrich will leave his position as principal/superintendent of Keota schools.

Henrich will leave his position at the end of the school year for family reasons, as he has been away from his family for the last nine years. Henrich informed the district during their August board meeting, and a search firm was hired during the Monday, October 31st board meeting.

“It’s been 35 years in education, and I’m looking forward to whatever is next around the bend,” Henrich told KCII News. “But I’ve truly, truly enjoyed Keota; it’s a special place.”

KCII News will keep you updated on the search firm, and for more information on the Keota school board minutes, go to www.keota.k12.ia.us.
