According to a letter sent to district staff members, "The board and superintendent have had extensive discussions regarding the leadership needs of the district and have come to a mutual agreement that a change would be in the best interest of both parties."
The letter also said the board would support Lawrence's efforts to seek a new job.
"Getting to this point was a hard step," Board of Trustees President Rebecca Davies said.
Davies would not provide additional details on why Lawrence stepped down.
Alta Loma Educators Association president Helen Kowal said she was not sure why Lawrence resigned.
"This is a very good board, and everyone works well together," Kowal said. "We have our ups and downs just like any relationship, but they're always working toward the good of the district."
The specifics of the search for a new superintendent have not been determined, Davies said.
In the meantime, assistant superintendents will be responsible for the district's management.
Board members accepted Lawrence's resignation last week.
