PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Jason Jordan was sworn in as the newest member of the Pender County Board of Education during the board’s regular meeting Monday, Nov. 9.

Judge James H. Faison III administered the oath of office.

Jordan will represent District 2, filling the seat previously held by Beth Burns, who stepped down to serve on the Pender County Board of Commissioners.

Jordan ran unopposed for the District 2 seat in the Nov. 3 general election.

His swearing-in allows him to begin serving ahead of the board’s customary December seating of newly elected members.

As a board member, Jordan will help make decisions affecting students, employees and families throughout Pender County Schools.

His responsibilities will include setting district policies, approving budgets and working with the superintendent to support the school system’s goals.
