GENEVA COUNTY, Ala (WDNews) – Geneva City Schools Superintendent, Ronald Snell, announced Monday that he will retire at the end of this year, following a six-year tenure. Snell shared the news during a brief school board meeting, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to lead the district.
“It has been an honor to serve as Geneva superintendent for the past six years,” Snell wrote in his retirement letter.
However, some board members questioned the timing of his decision, with one suggesting that an agreement may have been reached between Snell and certain board members. His retirement is set for December 31.
The board also voted to discontinue an ongoing investigation involving Snell, which has fueled speculation. Snell took on the superintendent role in 2018 after a long 37-year career in education, which included time as a high school principal in Dothan. Prior to his Geneva appointment, he served as principal at T.R. Miller High School in Brewton.
As Snell prepares to step down, the circumstances surrounding his exit continue to raise questions among some within the district.
