Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Marty Pollio announced in a letter to families and staff Friday that he is retiring.
According to his letter, Pollio will retire effective July 1, 2025. Next year is the final year of his three-year contract. Pollio has had to navigate several issues during his time at the head of the state largest public school district, including staffing shortages from the pandemic and a transportation disaster on the first day of school in 2023.
The previous school year he was rated as “exemplary” or “accomplished” in all categories. This school year, however, Pollio said the board marked one score of “needing improvement” under human resource leadership. Pollio said the transportation disaster at the start of last school year played a role in his scores.
Pollio said since signing on for another three years, he knew this school year was going to be his last with JCPS.
