Dr. Besendorfer's resignation to become the new chancellor of Western Governors University Missouri will take effect at the end of this week.
""This has been a fabulous journey," Besendorfer said. "My heart will always be in Joplin."
The statement came a few moments after Board President Jeff Flowers and Superintendent C. J. Huff praised Besendorfer.
Flowers started by listing some recent honors the assistant superintendent had received, turned to Besendorfer and said, "We will miss you."
Flowers noted that only hours after the May 22, 2011, Joplin Tornado, Besendorfer was on the phones making sure that displaced Joplin students would have buildings for school when August arrived.
Flowers and Huff hugged Besendorfer, after which Huff said, "She has played a huge role in the design of the new schools.
"Her legacy will live on these new buildings."

I just threw up in my mouth a little.
She leaves a legacy all right! OMG!!!!
Who knew she had a heart. I thought that was like her conscience and she was born without one.
Is that a threat? Ugh. We want no part of her left in Joplin.
Uh huh. We'll be feeling her impact all right. For decades as we pay double the taxes for those buildings, including the one that never needed to be built.
That would appeal to Huff and Flowers. Birds of a feather flock together, even the buzzards.
She can leave her heart in Joplin, but I, for one, am glad she's getting her ass out of here.

You just made my year. I wanted to say that, but didn't.
Ha!
The fact that the Board and Huff think she did a good job is the root of the problem. They're all too damn dumb to see what she did to the district. Or deceitful. You choose.
Oh, now, don't y'all be getting all choked up. The little missus will be back in town many times. She has a lot of court dates to keep.
Created an absolute mess and ran before the house of cards collapsed on her. Great for her but hell for the people who have to clean up her stupid mess. Most worthless bunch of administrators that ever walked the face of the earth.
On the bright side, wherever she goes or whatever she does, she will still be fat and ugly.
I want Angie to be my sugar mama
