The Decatur City Schools board accepted the resignation of Superintendent Dan Brigman during an emergency meeting held Saturday afternoon, the Decatur Daily reported.

Brigman served as superintendent for only 10 months. The reason for Brigman's resignation wasn't released.

Saturday's meeting lasted only 2 1/2 minutes, the newspaper reported. Brigman wasn't in attendance.

"We thank Dr. Brigman for his service to the students, parents, constituents, faculty, staff and administration of Decatur City Schools," board President Karen Duke said in a statement. "We wish Dr. Brigman and his family all the best."

The board is expected to meet next week to name an interim superintendent.
