Centre superintendent to retire

Centre schools superintendent Larry Geist will retire at the end of the 2024-’25 school year. He has spent after 43 years in education, the last four years at Centre.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here,” he said.

The Centre school board met last week with a Kansas Association of School Boards representative to learn how to find a replacement.

Geist has no definite plans for retirement but did say he recently obtained a doctorate in education and is exploring a possible role in higher education.
