Less than a week after winning re-election, Henderson County Board of Education Member Joe McGarrh has resigned from office to seek another position with the school district.
McGarrh resigned effective Monday, Nov. 9 from his District 2 seat. McGarr just won a second term for the office on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. He had served on the school board since January 2023.
“Serving on the Henderson County Schools Board of Education has been an honor, and I am grateful for the opportunity to represent District 2 and work alongside my fellow board members in support of our students, staff, and community,” McGarrh said.
“Out of respect for my fellow board members and for a fully transparent process, I believe stepping away from my position is the right decision as I apply for the Transportation Director Position with Henderson County Schools,” said McGarrh.
Resigning from the board is not a requirement to apply for the position. A committee will oversee the hiring process for the Transportation Director.
After McGarrh’s resignation, Henderson County Schools will begin filling the District 2 Board vacancy in accordance with Kentucky law and Board Policy 01.3.
