Neill Leaving Sturgeon

Sturgeon Superintendent Geoffrey Neill has been named the next superintendent of the Gasconade County R-1 District. Neill, who has served as superintendent of the Sturgeon R-V Schools for the past three years, will begin his work at Gasconade R-I on July 1. Neill says this was a difficult decision to make.

This was a family decision.

While serving the Sturgeon Schools, Neill led a successful bond election that focused on district-wide energy improvements as well as school safety and security measures. The district bond funds will also lead to additional improvements throughout the schools. The Sturgeon School Board accepted Neill’s resignation at a special meeting Tuesday morning. The district will begin its search for a new superintendent immediately.
