The Brunswick County school district will soon have a new leader.
The board of education has called a special meeting Tuesday to name a superintendent. Former district administrator Les Tubb has acted as interim superintendent since November, shortly after a divided board decided to fire Dr. Edward Pruden months ahead of his announced retirement.
The search for a replacement began late last year, with guidance from the N.C. School Boards Association in the hiring process. As part of that process, the district solicited feedback from parents, residents and staff through online and paper surveys.
Board members will meet in closed session beginning at 1 p.m. Tuesday to consider confidential matters before voting in open session on their choice for superintendent. The meeting will be held at district’s central office in the Brunswick County Government Center, 35 Referendum Drive, Bolivia.
A reception will be held from 5 to 6:15 p.m. to give the public an opportunity to meet and talk with the new superintendent.
