GCS Gets More Top-Heavy

No economic slowdown going on downtown as GCS brings in more top-level management.

Today's N&R:

The top levels of school administration also got a little more crowded Thursday night. The school board approved the hiring of a new chief of staff and the reassignment of another administrator.

The school board hired Nora Carr, the district spokeswoman for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, to take over the chief of staff position here. Carr is a career public relations professional with six years in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and a brief stint as vice president of Luquire George Andrews , one of the state’s largest public relations firms.

Carr will be responsible for legislative affairs, expanding business partnerships, facilitating change management, community relations and assisting with the implementation of the district’s strategic plan. Her base salary is $150,000.

Carr replaces Eric Becoats who will be reassigned to chief administrative officer. Becoats came to Guilford County in 2005 and served as co-interim superintendent this summer while the school board conducted its search for a replacement for former superintendent Terry Grier.
