Dr. Michael Dietter, duty superintendent of Bristol Public Schools, has resigned, it was announced by Acting Superintendent Iris White in a message posted on ParentSquare Thursday morning.

“Many of you know Dr. Dietter as a trusted colleague and friend, and I know he will be greatly missed,” White reads in the message directed to Bristol Public Schools community.

White lists among the initiatives that Dietter has led during his tenure: supervisor of special services, director of special services and chair of the Memorial Boulevard Intradistrict Arts Magnet School building committee.

“He has successfully led initiatives on student attendance, health and wellness, and school safety,” White writes.

“Dr. Dietter has been recognized locally by the Connecticut Association of Special Education Parent Teacher Organization for his collaboration and advocacy work and by Wade’s World Foundation for his volunteer efforts with Bristol youth.”

Dr. Dietter’s last day with the district has not yet been determined, White writes, thanks him for his years of service and wishes him well.
