Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Superintendent Neil Pedersen has announced that he will retire at the end of the coming school year. Dr. Pedersen has been superintendent since 1992 and has worked in the district since 1987. The school system issued a press release with an overview of changes and accomplishments during his tenure.
It's absolutely stunning for any school district to have a superintendent serve for such an extended period of time. It's probably difficult for our community to conceive of how things might be difference if we had a succession of 5-6 superintendents in the same time period.
