Superintendent Rick Bolling is leaving in January; board searching for a replacement
What happened
At the October 19, 2026 meeting a board member said Superintendent Dr. Rick Bolling is 'leaving us in January.' The board met in closed session on October 12 and again on October 19 to discuss next steps in the superintendent search. The records do not say why he is leaving or who will replace him.
Why it matters to families
The superintendent runs the whole division and proposes the yearly budget. The FY28 budget is due from the superintendent in January 2027, the same month he is expected to leave.
