Webster Area 18-5 principal Craig Case to retire; board accepts retirement
Summary
The Webster Area School Board accepted Principal Craig Case's retirement, praising his 25 years of service; trustees will begin the process to fill the vacancy while the principal plans to remain in the community.
The Webster Area School Board on Feb. 3, 2026 accepted the retirement of Principal Craig Case, who told trustees he will step down at the end of the year.
Board members praised Case's long tenure and community engagement. "The number 1 compliment that I can give him is that he has done a phenomenal job by our students," the board chair said during the meeting. Trustees moved to accept Case's retirement, a motion that was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Trustees and staff recounted Case's presence at school events and his community ties, noting 25 years of service. A board member said the district will have "big shoes to fill," and another added, "Craig's just been instrumental in [students'] lives," reflecting the board's view of his impact.
Case spoke to the board after the motion passed, thanking the community and saying he plans to remain in Webster. "I'm gonna find something else to do and I have CDL. I like driving a bus, so I'll probably be driving a bus a little bit more," Case said, adding that he and his family intend to stay active in the town.
The board did not set a public timetable for a search in the meeting record. The acceptance was recorded as a voice vote; no roll-call tally was given in the transcript.
Next steps noted at the meeting: the board's formal acceptance of the retirement and trustee expressions of appreciation; the board will address replacement planning in future meetings.
