ASHLAND, Ore--- According to the Ashland School District, district superintendent Kelly Raymond announced her resignation from the Ashland School District and shared plans to move closer to her family in Washington State.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here,” Ms. Raymond said. “This district has a dedicated, truly excellent team of
teachers, student support staff, and administrators. The equity work we’ve done is particularly close to my
heart. We’ve improved student achievement, restored the fund balance, and also passed an important bond
together. This community is very supportive of education; thank you for all the ways that you made working
here in Ashland a real pleasure.”
