The Grundy R-5 School District has a new secondary principal, who will begin his duties in August.
Matt Rayl comes to the R-5 District from South Shelby R-1 at Shelbina, where he was high school principal this past school year. He was a band instructor for 22 years in the California, MO, Putnam County and Knox County school districts. He and his wife, Tara, who is a teacher, are the parents of a son, who will be an eighth grader, and a daughter, who will be in preschool.
R-5 Superintendent Phil Fox said Rayl is scheduled to begin his duties as principal for grades six through 12 on Aug. 11. Rayl was offered a contract for the positon by the R-5 Board of Education during a meeting earlier this month, with the signed contract just recently being returned.
