LANSING, MI (AP)-- Michigan Department of Human Services Director Maura Corrigan says she'll leave her post at the end of the year.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the former Michigan Supreme Court justice says she wants to spend more time with her grandchildren.
Corrigan was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2011 to lead the state's welfare agency. She served on the state's high court from 1999 to 2010.
Corrigan says she told Snyder she'd lead the department for four years.
Her announcement follows the departure of James Haveman as director of the Department of Community Health. He announced last month he was resigning after having a mild stroke.
