YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Superintendent Laurie Doering announced her plans to retire at the end of the academic year.

Doering began as a P.E. teacher in 1983 and later gained multiple roles through Crane Schools. She was appointed as assistant superintendent in 2014, then moved up to superintendent in 2017.
