“Upon return from South Korea, as the global COVID-19 pandemic raged, the New Buffalo Area Schools accepted my family and me into the school community. I am grateful to provide leadership to the middle school in the most uncertain of circumstances,” Brunner stated in his resignation letter. The letter stated that Brunner is “not resigning from my commitment to the New Buffalo community. I look forward to future opportunities to serve the community!”
In a statement after the meeting, New Buffalo Area Schools Superintendent Dr. Jeff Leslie said that Brunner has accepted a position at The College Board, which provides students with college search and admission tools and assists them with their SATs and AP exams. He told board members that Brunner’s position will be posted the next day and that he plans on having a recommendation to them by their Monday, June 27, board meeting.
