POST OF THE WEEK: ❤️❤️❤️ BCS Superintendent Dr. Rob Jackson Announces Retirement
 
After 34 years of serving students in North Carolina public schools, Buncombe County Schools Superintendent Dr. Rob Jackson has announced his plan to retire, after leading the school system since 2022. He shared his decision with the Board of Education June 5.
 
“The opportunity to serve as the superintendent of the school system I attended as a student - and where I would later begin my career as a teacher and administrator - has been an incredible privilege,” said Dr. Jackson. “This is the school system my parents and my children attended, a school system that believes in every student, supports every educator, and never stops striving to be better."
 
The Board of Education will begin developing a leadership transition plan, and will keep stakeholders informed throughout the process.
