HILLSVILLE — Shuffling principals around at Carroll County Public Schools has resulted in new administrators at all three Hillsville facilities and Woodlawn.
It took the Carroll County School Board multiple meetings to complete, but in the end four school-level administrators and one central office administrator have been moved into new positions.
The changes include:
• Ralph “Bob” Martin from coordinator of crisis management and energy conservation to Woodlawn School principal, according to schools personnel reports.

HILLSVILLE — A Carroll deputy will soon get a new beat after the sheriff’s office adds a school resource officer to cover the county’s remaining schools.
The person chosen for the position will travel between the different elementary schools, according to Sheriff J.B. Gardner. This will make Carroll’s third school resource officer, with one each dedicated to the high and intermediate schools already.

Five more states – including Virginia – have been granted flexibility from key provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind education law, the Obama administration announced Friday.
That brings the total number of states receiving waivers to 24. Thirteen other applications are still being reviewed.

HILLSVILLE — Carroll County Public Schools will name a new superintendent at a meeting tonight, Wednesday, at 6 p.m.
