The Caldwell County Board of Education voted to appoint Adrian Dula as the district’s assistant superintendent for human resources, approving a contract that takes effect Feb. 1, 2026 and runs through June 30, 2027. Superintendent Dr. Thomas Howe presented the administrative recommendation and asked the board to approve the contract as corrected.
Dr. Howe requested, “I respectfully request a motion to approve Adrian Dula as the assistant superintendent for human resources for a 2 year contract effective 02/01/2026,” then clarified the contract term during the motion. Speaker 3 moved to approve the corrected contract and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion passed.
After the vote, Adrian Dula addressed the board: “Chairman Pinnell, board members, doctor Howe, the cabinet, thank you so much for this opportunity. I'm excited about serving the county in this capacity. I've spent the majority of my career here in Caldwell County, and I'm excited about this new adventure.”
The action followed a closed-session discussion earlier in the meeting; the board indicated there could be action after returning to open session and then moved forward with the administrative appointment. No additional contract terms, salary figures or personnel file details were stated on the public record during the meeting.
Next steps: the appointment was approved during the meeting; implementation details, onboarding timeline and any required public personnel filings were not specified on the record.
