St. Joseph School District Chief Financial Officer Beau Musser has submitted his resignation to the district.

The district said he submitted his resignation Thursday. His last day with the district will be Oct. 14, 2015.

“Mr. Musser made an invaluable contribution to the St. Joseph School District. We thank him for his courage to ask difficult questions and appreciate his dedication to the district, the students and staff. We certainly wish him well as he moves to the next phase of his career,” said Dr. Robert Newhart, Superintendent.

Musser was hired by the St. Joseph School District on June 10, 2013.  During his time with the district Musser was credited with blowing the whistle on millions in stipends that had been given to top administrators without the knowledge or approval of the school board.  He also filed suit against several top officials with the district claiming he was placed on leave for continuing to question the practice of handing out stipends.  That lawsuit was settled in April.

“My professional career with the district is over, however my involvement with the district is not. With two young kids about to start school, I look forward to seeing future progress with the St. Joseph School District,” said Musser in his resignation letter.

The district said Musser has chosen to keep his future employment position confidential.
