Beautiful Plains School Division secretary-treasurer Gord Olmstead has informed the Board of Trustees that he’ll be stepping down from the position later this year. Olmstead submitted his letter of retirement at the Wednesday, Jan. 6 board meeting, indicating that he will resign as secretary-treasurer no later than June 30 and cease his employment with the division on Aug. 15.

BPSD superintendent Jason Young said that Olmstead has been a very important part of the division and in shaping its vision.

“[Gord] has been a critical part of our senior administrative team for quite some time. His dedication, hard work and leadership is well known to everyone and will be missed by all,” said Young.

Olmstead has been with BPSD since 1990. Prior to that, he spent three years as secretary treasurer in the Turtle River School Division and over eight and a half years with the Swan Valley School Division. The board of trustees for the Beautiful Plains School Division will now start the process of searching for his replacement.
