Oyster River Superintendent Steps Down

Superintendent Robert Shaps is stepping down early from Oyster River Cooperative School District, leaving just a year into his contract amid widespread dissatisfaction. A teacher survey revealed overwhelming discontent: 94% felt he wasn’t advocating for their interests, 92% said school culture was poor under his leadership, and 88% lacked confidence in his direction. While Shaps cited personal commitment as his reason for leaving, parents and staff alike called for internal change.
