Clayton County Public Schools Superintendent Morcease Beasley will leave the district earlier than expected. Beasley announced a few weeks ago that he planned to step down when his contract ends in June. But the school board unanimously approved a separation agreement with Beasley in a meeting Monday.
Beasley was tight-lipped recently when WABE asked him about leaving.
“We’re just looking forward to that next opportunity and we’re excited and we’ll keep you all informed as it occurs,” he said.
In a statement, Beasley says he’ll seek different educational achievements, but doesn’t get specific.
“I’ll be cheering for Clayton County Public Schools in my next endeavor,” he said. “It’s been an absolute honor and privilege to serve Clayton County in the role of Superintendent. Clayton County Public Schools will always be family to me and a wonderful part of my educational journey. May God continue to bless the school district and all its stakeholders!”
