A release said the appointment follows the resignation of Superintendent Terry Bennett, that same evening.

Cyr is also the principal of North Douglas High School and will lead a district that serves more than 300 students in Drain.

Cyr recently began his 12th year working for the district. For 11 years, he was the elementary and middle school principal. This part year, Cyr became the high school principal. The release said he has had the opportunity to expand relationships and learn more about operations.

Cyr said, “We have great people working in our district”. He said he wants to empower those people “…to use their skills and unique abilities to make decisions that are best for students”.
