LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — Less than a month after the School District of Lancaster announced their hiring of a superintendent, the new head of the district withdrew his candidacy.
Dr. Ricardo "Rocky" Torres, who was originally slated to take over in July, recently declined the position “based on unsuccessful contract negotiations."
In a press release, the school board said they are considering their next steps. The board says it will not take any action on this matter at tonight's meeting, but they will take public comments.
The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Lincoln Middle School, located at 1001 Lehigh Ave in Lancaster.
Those interested can follow along with the district's search for a superintendent on a dedicated section of their website.
