“It has been an honor to serve alongside the board and contribute to the work of the district,” Scodro said in a district news release.
Board President Lynn Zeder and Superintendent Robert Nolting both thanked Scodro for her time in a news release.
“Ms. Scodro has spent her entire adult life advocating for students,” Zeder said. “I am grateful she was a part of our team and that we had opportunities to learn from her knowledge.”
Nolting said Scodro provided “exceptional” service in putting students first.
“She brought a unique voice to the district based on a passion for students, particularly those who require additional supports,” Nolting said.
