Shawnee Mission Superintendent Mike Fulton plans to retire from his position in July, he told the school board Monday night. Fulton said in a statement that announcing his decision now will allow the district enough time to find his replacement. He has led the Johnson County school district, which is one of the largest in the state with more than 27,000 students, since 2018. “My plan beyond the superintendency is to stay engaged with the educational community in ways that support leadership development and promote equity and excellence in public education,” Fulton wrote. “To serve as superintendent in SMSD has been an honor. … The future is bright in the Shawnee Mission School District.”
