Schools brace for wave of retirements

Dozens of Harford County school administrators will be ready for retirement in the next few years, leaving the system scrambling for ways to replace them.

At least 11 middle- and high-school principals and 11 more assistant principals will be entering the “retirement zone” ? about 30 years or more of experience ? within the next three to five years, said Superintendent Jacqueline Haas. About 20 more principals and assistant principals will reach the same level in the county?s elementary schools.
