Dexter superintendent to retire and lead new regional center
Dexter Schools superintendent Jimmy Derrick will retire Aug 1 after 28 years in the district and four years as leader. He will become director of the Southeastern New Mexico Regional Educational Resource Center in Carlsbad, starting Sep 1. The center serves 12 districts in Chaves Eddy and Lee Counties and is funded by Sandia National Laboratories Westinghouse and the DOE surplus equipment. Derrick aims to provide math and science kits, share DOE equipment among schools, and help staff and student transitions to work. The Dexter School Board seeks an interim leader while a full time replacement is found, with three candidates under consideration and possible confirmation by week’s end. Derrick also serves as lay minister at Westside Church of God and may continue preaching until a new minister is found.
