## Resource

Chesapeake Public Schools welcomes a new superintendent, Doug Brubaker, a seasoned education leader from Texas with 31 years of experience, who narrowly won approval from the School Board 5-4. He’s stepping in to replace Jared Cotton, a 34-year veteran who’s retiring after eight years as superintendent. Brubaker, who holds advanced degrees and a proven record of boosting student outcomes and community involvement, is set to officially take over on August 13th — with Cotton staying on through the transition to ensure continuity. School Board Chair Kim Scott praised Brubaker’s track record and his potential to carry forward Chesapeake’s legacy of excellence.
