Stokes Co (NC) Schools Superintendent’s new contract is approved -- There will be no increases

(By Leslie Bray, The Stokes News) - A new employment contract has been negotiated for Dr. L. Stewart Hobbs Jr., superintendent of Stokes County Schools. The agreement, voted on by the Stokes County Board of Education at their Sept. 20 meeting, does not increase the level of compensation provided in his prior contract.

Dr. Hobbs himself requested that there be no increases, although the board had already discussed giving him extra compensation in honor of the forward progress the school system has made under his leadership.

“I made this decision because I felt that it was the best thing for the school system and myself, both professionally and personally,” stated Dr. Hobbs. “As long as I am superintendent of Stokes County Schools, I will continue to work to move this school system forward.”
