The Edmonton Public School board announced on Wednesday that the division’s superintendent will retire at the end of the school year.
Darrel Robertson will retire after 30 years with EPSB – the last 12 of them as superintendent.
“Serving Edmonton Public Schools as Superintendent has been an immense pleasure and an honour,” Robertson said.
“This decision, one I’ve been considering carefully for several months, comes with a mix of reflection and anticipation for the future. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside such dedicated educators, staff, and families, all committed to the success of students.”
“We are immensely grateful for Superintendent Robertson’s decades of service to the students and staff of Edmonton Public Schools,” board chair Julie Kusiek said. “He has left an indelible mark on thousands of students, shaping their lives and inspiring them to achieve their dreams. His passion for education and his unwavering dedication to students and the calling of public education will be deeply missed.”
The Board of Trustees will conduct a national search to find a new superintendent.
