After much thought and careful consideration, William Mayer has decided to resign from his position as principal of Riverside Campus effective July 31, 2023. He will return to the District as an Assistant Principal for both Buckeye Elementary and Melridge Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year, effective August 1, 2023.
“Throughout the past year, I have been facing several personal challenges that have made it extremely difficult for me to give the time, energy and focus needed to be principal of such a large school in Riverside Campus,” said Mayer. “I feel it is very important for my well-being to take a step back and relieve my duties as Campus principal. I am extremely proud of the accomplishments that our students and staff have achieved throughout the course of the past year. I believe we have shifted the culture in a significantly positive way and I look forward to seeing that progress continue next year and beyond.
Going forward I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to return to my roots as an elementary building administrator in the District. I have spent the majority of my educational career at the elementary level. This is where my true calling is and where I am most comfortable and best served. I look forward to working with, and getting to know, the Buckeye and Melridge elementary families and staff members.”
The District will now conduct a search for a new Riverside Campus principal immediately.
