Summary
The USD 297 board accepted the resignations of Transportation Director Garrett Sundstrom, effective Sept. 13, 2024, and District Clerk Traci Neitzel, effective Oct. 31, 2025; the clerk will remain a year to train her replacement.
The USD 297 Board of Education accepted two personnel resignations at its Sept. 12 meeting: Garrett Sundstrom resigned as Transportation Director, effective Sept. 13, 2024, after 24 years with the district; and District Clerk Traci Neitzel submitted her resignation effective Oct. 31, 2025 and will remain for one year to train a replacement, concluding 15 years of service to the district.
The resignations were presented together and a motion to accept them was made by Shawna Blanka, seconded by Danielle McAtee, and carried. The minutes do not record additional discussion about replacement timelines beyond Mrs. Neitzel’s stated training period.
The board did not provide further detail in the minutes about next steps for recruiting a new transportation director or district clerk.
