Saranac Central superintendent to retire By Stephen Bartlett stephen@denpubs.com SARANAC — The Saranac Central School District superintendent is leaving with mixed emotions. After nearly 40 years with the same district, a lengthy education career that has included teaching and administration and in which he consistently put students first. Now, he has grandchildren in the district, and Ken Cringle wants to devote more time to his family. “It is with mixed emotions that I respectfully submit my retirement notification, effective July 1, 2013,” Cringle said. “I want to thank the Board of Education Saranac Central School Superintendent Ken Cringle is retiring at the end of and the community for the opportunity the 2012-13 school year. and support they have provided me Photo by Stephen Bartlett

throughout my career.” For more than 35 years, Saranac Central School has been an integral part of Cringle’s family, beginning with his decision to teach, coach and become an administrator at his Alma Mater. His career decision set in motion decades of K-12 student interaction and countless sessions with parents to help make them feel part of the team. Cringle cannot count the number of times he has met with “an exceptionally dedicated” staff, nor the number of discussions he has engaged with a “studentcentered, community-minded” school board. “As an alumnus, father and grandfather of children attending this school district, I feel very fortunate to have experienced and worked in such a caring school community and dedicated staff.”
