RRGSD Board Seeks Public Input on Superintendent Search
The Roanoke Rapids Graded School District Board of Trustees has hired the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) to help facilitate its search for the next superintendent of Roanoke Rapids Graded School District (RRGSD). To that end, the board is seeking direct input from interested students, parents, other members of the community, and staff to help shape the search process and to assist in defining the characteristics, experience, and skills desired in the next RRGSD superintendent.
Community Survey. The board invites students, parents, and other members of the community to participate in a community survey that can be accessed and completed online by clicking the superintendent search survey link on the RRGSD website: https://www.rrgsd.org/page/superintendent-search. All surveys must be completed by Monday, February 9, 2026, with results to be compiled, summarized, and presented by NCSBA at the RRGSD board’s regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.
Staff Survey. In addition, all RRGSD employees will have an opportunity to complete a separate online staff survey. Details about completing the employee version of the superintendent search survey will be communicated via school system e-mail. All surveys must be completed by Monday, February 9, 2026, with results to be compiled, summarized, and presented by NCSBA at the RRGSD board’s regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.
Statements from Community Groups and Organizations.
