"After a great deal of thought, I have decided to extend my time with my family and I will not be returning to Crossfield," Haydon told Crossfield families in an email Tuesday. "Sara Acuff and Margaret Davis will work with our faculty and staff to wind up all the details for the end of the school year under the guidance of our Assistant Superintendent Dr. Fabio Zuluaga."

"This has been a hard decision, but one I really need to make for my family," Haydon said.
