Bedford County names new school superintendent
Bedford County Schools have a new superintendent. Dr. Marc Bergin has been appointed following a unanimous vote by the School Board at its March 11 regular meeting. Bergin has served for the past six years as the Chief of Staff for Virginia Beach City Public Schools, a school division of 86 schools serving 66,000 students, where he helped lead the division’s strategic planning work and the division’s Blue Ribbon Panel safety initiative. During his tenure the division reached full accreditation for the first time in recent history. Bergin told the News and Advance that he grew up in what was then Campbell County and attended Brookville Middle and High Schools before moving to the Midwest.
