Bladen County schools superintendent quits

BLADEN COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — The Bladen County school district needs a new leader. At last night’s school board meeting, superintendent Greg Killingsworth told the board he wanted to retire effective immediately.

The school board unanimously accepted Killingsworth’s hand-written letter of resignation. It then voted to assign his duties to assistant superintendent Roland McKoy for the time being.

No word yet on why Killingsworth stepped down. The board hired him in April 2009 for the job, which he started July 1, 2009.
