Brunswick Co. hires superintendent

BOLIVIA, NC (WWAY) — After a nationwide search that began when Katie McGee resigned in January, the Brunswick County School Board Thursday evening hired Ed Pruden to be its new superintendent. Pruden will begin his new job July 1.

In an exclusive live interview on WWAY shortly after the board approved is four-year contract, Pruden said he would be spending time getting to know his staff at the central office.

The superintendent job became available when McGee resigned in January after the school board announced in the fall that it would not renew her contract.

We will have much more on Pruden coming up on WWAY NewsChannel 3 at 11.
