Gainesville Superintendent Merrianne Dyer is retiring, but she won’t be leaving anytime soon. Dyer has announced she will stay with the city system until June 30, 2014, giving it time “to complete the difficult task of finding someone that will be as effective” as her, said City Board of Education member David Syfan, serving as superintendent search chairman. In a Feb. 1 letter to system “stakeholders” and released by Dyer on Monday morning, Syfan said the school board hopes to identify final candidates for Dyer’s replacement by this fall and have a new superintendent hired by late 2013.
