Randolph County Board extends superintendent contract, approves $65,000 CTE grant and personnel actions
Summary
At its regular meeting, the Randolph County Board of Education extended Superintendent Dr. Ganyans contract to the statutory maximum through 06/30/2029, approved a $65,000 CTE expansion grant to fund a middle-school career development coordinator, and accepted multiple personnel reports and consent items.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted at its regular monthly meeting to extend Superintendent Dr. Ganyans contract to June 30, 2029, and approved a competitive $65,000 career-and-technical-education (CTE) expansion grant intended to fund a middle-school career development coordinator.
The board read a statement expressing appreciation for the superintendents "dedication, passion, and thoughtful leadership," and said the district has made strides in student achievement and recruitment. The motion to extend the contract passed by unanimous voice vote; the board recorded the result as unanimous (7-0).
The CTE expansion grant, awarded by the Education and Workforce Innovation Commission and presented to the board for final acceptance, was described as a competitive award granted on Aug. 22, 2025, and intended to provide relief for existing CTE budget cuts by funding one middle-school career development coordinator and supporting required career development plans. The board moved and approved acceptance of the $65,000 grant by voice vote.
In addition to those items, the board approved certified and classified personnel reports and a recommendation to retain current principals at 12 schools designated as low-performing. Consent items listed on the agenda were approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.
Board members and administrators framed the actions as steps to stabilize staffing and maintain instructional programs. Superintendent remarks during the meeting noted progress in reducing vacancies compared with last year and emphasized ongoing efforts to recruit and retain educators.
What happens next: The superintendents extended contract is effective through June 30, 2029, as announced by the board. The district will implement the CTE grant as outlined in the award documentation and apply the funding to the stated middle-school career development coordinator role; no further board conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes.
