Less than two hours after the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education appointed former Recovery School District chief John White to the state superintendent spot, White announced his successor.
White’s pick is RSD Deputy Superintendent for Community and Policy Patrick Dobard, who has long been a silent force in the state education realm. Before his appointment at RSD, he spent three years as the state education department’s deputy director of governmental affairs, and before that, he was a top aide to former state Superintendent Paul Pastorek.
