DALLAS, GA — Paulding County School District Superintendent Brian Otott plans to retire effective May 31 after 31 years of serving the district in multiple roles, including the last 3.5 years as superintendent.
"Leaving the place you love is never an easy decision, but I am looking forward to completing this school year and beginning a new phase of life,” Dr. Otott wrote in a letter.

Since then, he has worked at 11 Paulding County schools as well as the district office.
