Decherd Elementary School experienced an administrative change this week with the departure of Principal Megan Geer, a move that has caught some within the Franklin County School District by surprise.
The change comes in the middle of the school year, a timing that has prompted questions among parents, staff, and community members. At this time, no formal public statement has been issued by district officials.
931GO.com has reached out to the Franklin County School District for information. Because this involves a personnel matter, the district may be limited in what it can publicly share, and additional details are expected to be provided as they become available.
Geer was named principal of Decherd Elementary just a few years ago in a celebratory announcement that highlighted both her professional journey and her deep personal ties to the school. A graduate of Decherd Elementary herself, Geer often spoke about the school as a second home and described her role as coming “full circle,” from student to principal.
Before becoming principal, Geer served in multiple roles within the district, including assistant principal, RTI interventionist, and learning loss coordinator. She also held a master’s degree in educational leadership and frequently emphasized building leadership among both students and teachers as a cornerstone of her vision for the school.
As is common with administrative personnel matters, further clarification may come at a later time. The district is expected to address the transition as appropriate.
931GO.com will continue to follow the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
