Lucabaugh said that Assistant Principal Michael Van Buren will serve as interim principal, effective immediately.

"Mr. Van Buren will ensure school operations, leadership, and educational services continue with interruption," the superintendent said. "Our priority remains maintaining a stable, supportive, and positive learning environment for all students and staff."

No reason was given for why Garaitonandia is no longer principal.

Centennial School Board President Patti Crossan told Patch on Tuesday that the principal's departure was a personnel matter and would not comment any further.
