There are more resignations and retirements from Gov. Chris Gregoire's administration as she begins a second term.

Two of the departures announced Tuesday are cabinet secretaries: Jone (JOAN) Bosworth, stepping down from the Department of Early Learning, and Gary Robinson, retiring from the Department of Information Services.

Also resigning is Children's Administration leader Cheryl Stephani (STEFF'-uh-nee). Children's Administration is part of the Department of Social and Health Services, which reports to Gregoire.

State Fish and Wildlife Director Jeff Koenings (KAYN'-ings) resigned on Monday.

Gregoire's office says none of the four were fired or asked to leave. Staff changes at the start of a new term are fairly common.
