The head of the Plano Independent School district is retiring.
On Tuesday, Richard Matkin announced he will retire effective January 30, 2015 after 40 years as a educator and administrator to spend more time with his family
Matkin has been superintendent of schools since the spring of 2012, after Doug Otto retired.
He also served as the associate superintendent for business services for the district for 11 years.
In a statement, Matkin said, “It was a privilege to serve Plano ISD in the role of superintendent for three years.” I’m very proud of the collective spirit and teamwork among our board and senior staff. They are well-poised to take the district into the future while remaining focused on supporting excellence in education.”
The Plano ISD Board of Trustees are looking at search firms to aid them in finding a new superintendent.
