"The leader of the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics announced his retirement Monday, following 10 years in which the Durham campus continued to grow but questions arose about the administrators he hired and the pay they received.
Chancellor Gerald Boarman said he wants to return to his home in Maryland to spend more time with his family, who had remained there.
The announcement surprised both the school's trustees and members of the UNC Board of Governors, who oversee the elite residential high school for academically gifted students. A spokeswoman for UNC President Erskine Bowles said that Boarman first broached the retirement with him shortly before Christmas."
