Randolph County Board Unanimously Extends Superintendent's Contract Through 2029
Summary
The Randolph County Board of Education voted unanimously to extend Superintendent Dr. Ganey's contract through June 30, 2029, citing progress in student achievement, recruitment and school safety. The decision followed approval of multiple personnel actions earlier in the meeting.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted unanimously to extend Superintendent Dr. Ganey's contract through June 30, 2029, the maximum time allowed by law.
Board members said the extension reflected the superintendent's role in recent gains on accountability measures, recruiting teachers and steering safety improvements across the district. The board's prepared statement read that it was "appreciative of the dedication, passion, and thoughtful leadership" Dr. Ganey has shown over the last year and that it expects "important strategic decisions" as the district addresses budget and growth pressures.
The motion to extend the contract passed by voice vote and was recorded as unanimous by the presiding officer. No individual dissenting votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The extension follows a series of personnel approvals earlier in the meeting, including certified and classified personnel reports and the board's vote to retain principals at 12 schools identified as low-performing. The board said it will continue to work with the superintendent on upcoming strategic challenges tied to enrollment and budgets.
The meeting record does not include specific salary or compensation changes tied to the contract extension; the board stated only the new contract end date of June 30, 2029.
