MARSHALL — The Marshall School Board on Monday accepted the resignation of Superintendent Scott Monson, effective June 30.

During a regularly scheduled meeting, board members also voted to search for internal candidates to serve as interim superintendent for at least a year.

The best time to recruit a new permanent superintendent will be in December or January, when there are more candidates available, said School Board chairman Jeff Chapman.

Monson said in his resignation letter that he would be pursuing an opportunity in the private sector, but didn’t give more details.
