SPEARFISH (AP) - The school superintendent in Spearfish is retiring after 16 years at the helm.
KOTA television reports that Dave Peters' retirement marks the end of a career in public education that spans 42 years.
He's planning to move to northwestern Montana to spend more time with his children and grandchildren.
