The resignation of Jefferson Elementary Principal Jarrett Cook, who is leaving to take a principal job in another school district, was accepted by the Joplin R-8 Board of Education during a closed session May 6.
Cook has been principal at Jefferson since 2011. Prior to that, he served as assistant principal at South and East middle schools.
This is a terrible loss for the community. I wonder if Anne Sharp can see what is happening with the loss of yet more really good people from R8? How do you put a positive spin on this? He left because he got a better deal with a better district. I wish him well. I wish those who have made this district an unbearable place to work good riddance, the sooner the better.
