The incomparable @DrJackson06 has made the decision that the time has come for a new adventure to begin, and I could not be happier for my brother! My friend and colleague has been a highly-respected voice for NC Superintendents, for public schools, and most importantly, for students. I cannot imagine our meetings in the future without this hero, but I smile knowing how well-earned his retirement is. Well done, dear friend, well done! #LeadershipMatters @ncsupers @EducationNC #NCED
