Webster Central School District Superintendent Carmen Gumina will retire, effective Friday.

In a letter to residents, the district said the school board reached a "mutual agreement" providing for Gumina's retirement.

Gumina was named interim superintendent in 2014, and got the job permanently in 2015.

“The Webster CSD Board of Education expresses its sincere appreciation to Dr. Gumina for more than three decades of service and commitment to thousands of Webster students and families,”  Board of Education President Tammy Gurowski said in a statement. “We wish him well as he begins this next chapter and thank him for making a difference in our schools and community.”
