ELLIS — Ellis USD 388 Superintendent Corey Burton has announced this year will be his last with the district.

The announcement was shared to the district's Twitter account early Wednesday.

"It has been a great honor to serve the students and staff of Ellis for the past 16 years as both junior/senior high school principal and currently as Superintendent," Burton said. "It is with great difficulty that I let you know that I will be leaving my position here at USD 388 and moving to a new position of Superintendent of Schools at Ulysses USD 214."

"While I am excited about the opportunity of this new role, I will miss working with and serving the students, staff and community of Ellis," he continued.

He said further the district has been an "excellent place for me to grow as an educator and raise my family."

"I look forward to a busy and successful end of our school year as we support the transition to a new district leader," Burton said.
