Wayne Stehlik, who has been the director of athletics for Springdale Public Schools for the past 11 years, is leaving his position according to the school district.
In a one-paragraph release by the district's communications office, "Wayne Stehlik is going to transition from the position as the District Director of Athletics effective June 30 to accept a part-time position as Director of Development for Athletics for the Springdale Public School District."
The district posted the job opening on its website and has started the search for a new leader of its athletic department which includes two large classification high schools in Springdale High and Springdale Har-Ber.
Under Stehlik's leadership, the district has upgraded athletic facilities at both campuses including building baseball and softball facilities. Currently, a new sports arena is under construction at Springdale High School that will bring it in line with other arena-style facilities at other Class 6A schools.
