OXFORD â Granville County Public Schools officials have downsized their central office staff to save money.
A special school board meeting on Tuesday saw members approve the elimination of an assistant superintendent position, the reduction from 16 to 12 of the number of director-level salaried positions in the central office, a restructuring of the entire Curriculum & Instruction and Student Services Department and a shift of several district-based positions to school-based positions
The board also agreed to the use of grant funding to pay for school-based positions.
âJust as our board is taking on the difficult task of school reorganization, so too must we streamline staffing in our central services,â Superintendent Alisa McLean said, alluding to the ongoing discussion of another round of school consolidation. âThese changes will also eliminate our reliance on state and local dollars. We must capture efficiencies and reduce staffing while maintaining quality
OXFORD — The Granville County Public Schools system is losing one of its assistant superintendents, Michael Myrick, who’s moving on to lead the schools in Weldon, North Carolina.
OXFORD â Granville County School board members voted Tuesday to expand their discussion of potential school mergers to include the possibility of converting Tar River Elementary School into a replacement for G.C. Hawley Middle School.
The decision came after Superintendent Alisa McLeanâs staff briefed the board on merger scenarios that consolidate Granville Central and South Granville high schools, using whichever of those campuses becomes surplus as the new home of Hawley Middle School.
The possibility of consolidating high schools answers pressure in favor of the idea from the Granville County Commissioners, but Tuesdayâs school board debate indicated that three and perhaps a majority of its members are reluctant or outright opposed.

OXFORD South Granville High School will need a new principal for the 2021-22 academic year potentially a critical one because of ongoing school-merger discussions thanks to a personnel shuffle in the Granville County Schools.
District officials announced that Northern Granville Middle School principal Brenda Williamson will be moving to take the same post at C.G. Credle Elementary School as of July 1, and that South Granville High principal Lisa Tusa will replace Williamson at Northern Granville Middle.
The position swaps began because Credle’s current principal, Sherrie Burns, is resigning so she can move to Pitt County, district officials said in announcing the changes.
