Lafayette schools chief plans June exit, expresses confidence in district’s future

Lafayette School District Superintendent Richard Whitmore will step down from the role he’s held since 2018 when his contract ends in June.

“After reflection about the state of the district and conversations with my family and friends, I have notified the governing board that I will not seek to extend my contract beyond its current end date of June 2022,” Whitmore said in an email to parents.
