ST. LOUIS - Board President of Special School District of St. Louis, Katie Pottroff, has resigned in the final year of her term, the district announced Tuesday.
“While the district is navigating some challenges, my decision is solely based on putting my family’s needs at the forefront,” Pottroff said in a release. “I am confident that the remaining Board members, along with Superintendent Dr. Maclin, will continue making meaningful progress toward righting the ship.”
Pottroff joined the SSD board in 2019, inspired by her son, to support students with disabilities and their families. She moved to St. Louis to access this kind of support for her son.
The board president was in the final year of her term, as she did not have intentions to seek re-election.
"President Pottroff has been a pillar of strength, compassion, and understanding on our Board. Her presence will be greatly missed,” Superintendent Dr. Michael Maclin said. “We thank her for her years of service and wish her and her family the best as they embark on this new chapter.”
Maclin and the board will work together to fill the position vacancy.
