Fresh on the heels of Berkeley High principal Frank Lynch’s abrupt departure, another key figure in the district administration announced Monday he would resign. 

Gene Le Fevre, the district’s maintenance director, will leave his post at the end of October, Superintendent Michele Lawrence said Tuesday.  

Le Fevre has worked in Berkeley for over two years, working on an interim basis for his first several months. He took over from Harvey Delorum, who left the district after only eight months to direct maintenance at Sonoma State University. Le Fevre could not be reached for comment Tuesday. 

The resignation comes just as Lawrence has created a new structure for the maintenance department. The school board is slated to vote on the plan at its meeting Wednesday evening.
