## Resource

Chesapeake’s school board narrowly chose Doug Brubaker—its first outsider superintendent—as he steps in from Texas with a $280K salary and perks, despite four dissenters who stayed silent during the vote, citing respect for him and concerns over his lack of local ties and potential differences in educational standards. They privately voiced worries that a Virginia or Chesapeake-native leader might have eased the transition, but now all eyes are on supporting Brubaker as he begins August 13th, echoing a similar split vote in Norfolk.
