Lexington 2 Superintendent William B. James Jr. plans to retire at the end of the 2020-21 school year.

James was hired as the district’s superintendent in 2015.

The Lexington Two School Board, at a special-called workshop on March 12,  approved contracting with the South Carolina School Boards Association to begin the search for a new superintendent.

“Lexington Two has been, and always will be, a special place to me” James said.  “I began here as a principal at Airport High School, and I have been given the privilege of ending my career as superintendent. I look forward to the upcoming year as we finish projects and transition to new leadership in the 2021-22 school year.”

The Superintendent-elect is expected to begin on July 1, 2020, becoming Superintendent July 1.

Candidates are requested to submit all application materials electronically to jlegrand@scsba.org by April 20. 

A survey is available for teachers, staff, parents, students and community members to take, allowing for input on the search.  Find it at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LexingtonTwoSurvey .
