KINGSTREE SC – The Williamsburg County School District Board Members have chosen the district’s Interim Superintendent to be the permanent Superintendent.

In November of 2014, Mrs. Carrie Brock was appointed as Interim Superintendent of Williamsburg County School District. In her time as Interim Superintendent, district leaders say Mrs. Brock has

demonstrated outstanding leadership and the Board has been extremely pleased with the contribution she has made to the District and the community. The Board of Trustees has considered its options for selecting the District’s next Superintendent, including the possibility of conducting a superintendent search with the assistance of a search firm. The Board has made a decision that, in our opinion, will result in an outstanding, experienced administrator leading the Williamsburg County School District.

After much consideration, Board Members realized that Interim Superintendent Brock, who has worked successfully in the District in her time as Interim Superintendent, and is a long

time educator who has held several positions in the District in her career, is the best choice to continue to lead the District as we seek to continue making progress for the benefit of the students we serve.

Following a discussion in executive session at our meeting this evening, the Board voted during public session to authorize the Chairperson, to execute an employment contract with Mrs. Brock, naming her Superintendent of the District, effective, March 1, 2016, for a term to extend to June 30, 2019, at an annual salary of $127,500.00, such contract having been prepared by the District’s legal counsel and reviewed with the Board.

The Board believes by selecting Mrs. Brock that our District has secured an outstanding administrator, who will continue to demonstrate the leadership she has shown in her time as Interim Superintendent, who is completely familiar with our District’s operations and its staff, and who is highly regarded in the community.,
