The head of the Kamloops-Thompson school district has resigned from her role after four years on the job.
School District 73 confirmed superintendent Rhonda Nixon's last day is tomorrow, July 4.
"This morning, board chair Heather Grieve shared with staff that superintendent Dr. Rhonda Nixon has decided to return to Alberta to support her family and has resigned from her position," a school district statement reads.
District trustees will soon appoint an temporary replacement as they search for a new superintendent.
iNFOnews.ca previously reported Nixon was under investigation for workplace bullying and harassment.
An employee union accused her of belittling, demeaning and yelling at staff

, creating a toxic work environment. The grievance escalated to an investigation.
The results of that investigation have not been confirmed.
Her resignation comes as the school district faces steep budget pressures, not unlike others across the province, though the district did blame an accounting error for overspending millions of dollars last year.
Nixon did not immediately reply to a request form comment from iNFOnews.ca.
She was hired in 2021 after moving to Kamloops from a previous superintendent role at a Catholic school district in Alberta.
