Clayton County Public Schools Superintendent Morcease Beasley will leave the district earlier than expected. Beasley announced a few weeks ago that he planned to step down when his contract ends in June. But the school board unanimously approved a separation agreement with Beasley in a meeting Monday.  

Beasley was tight-lipped recently when WABE asked him about leaving.

“We’re just looking forward to that next opportunity and we’re excited and we’ll keep you all informed as it occurs,” he said.
