Since Dr. Stacey Croft announced her resignation/retirement as Burlington Public School superintendent in December of 2020, the board searched for a replacement.
The board selected Kevin Brown as the new superintendent for the 2021-2022 school year. He has seven years administrative experience (four years as superintendent at Duke) and three years as a principal.
Brown is a longtime coach and is currently coaching basketball (for the second time) at Hammon, a Class B school like Burlington. Board President Terry Graham said that Brown resides in Lookeba and helps his father with cattle. He and his wife will move to Burlington with their son who Graham said he thinks will be an eighth grader. Their other children are grown.
Dr. Croft was teaching special education at Burlington during the 2017-2018 school year. The board selected her as superintendent in the spring of that year after the untimely death of longtime superintendent Glen Elliott. Croft's retirement is effective at the end of June.
