(Surrey, ND) — The athletic director for Surrey Public Schools is resigning. Sheila Gerding announced her resignation on Sunday, effective immediately. The announcement comes less than one week after the school board voted to buy out Superintendent David Gerding, the woman’s spouse. Sheila Gerding stated that her decision was influenced by an allegation made by a former principal, who accused Gerding of benefiting from favoritism by her spouse. Both Gerdings denied the claims.
