YORK COUNTY — The York County School Board and Superintendent Victor Shandor have reached an agreement regarding his retirement date, which will be effective Dec. 31.
Shandor will also step back from day-to-day responsibilities on Sep. 30.
The board announced it has unanimously appointed James Carroll as interim superintendent, effective Oct. 1. Carroll has served the York County School Division since 2014 in key leadership roles, including Chief Human Resources Officer and, most recently, Chief Operations Officer. Shandor will serve as an advisor to Carroll through Dec. 31, according to York County School Division, to ensure continuity and support during the interim period.
“Dr. Carroll’s deep knowledge of our division and his proven leadership make him the right choice to guide YCSD during this important time,” said Board Chair Kim Goodwin. “We are confident in his ability to lead with integrity and continuity.”
The board noted it has retained the Virginia School Boards Association to conduct a nationwide search for its next permanent superintendent, and additional details and opportunities for public involvement will be announced in the coming weeks.
