AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
July 2, 2018
[Insert Name]
[Insert Address]
Dear [Insert]:
I am writing to inform you of the change of status of your position, [Insert Title (#position number)].
As you are probably aware, according to the State Board of Education (SBE) policy, Delegation of
Authority from the State Board of Education to the Superintendent of Public Instruction (Policy ID
SBOP-013, revised May 4, 2017), your position was designated as a “dual report,” that is your
position has reported to both the Superintendent and the SBE.
With the 8 June 2018 North Carolina Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of
Session Law 2016-126, I am now exercising my authority under that Act to manage administrative
and supervisory personnel of the Department. Accordingly, I am changing your position
appointment from “dual report” to reporting [only to the Superintendent directly] or [to the
Superintendent through the Deputy State Superintendent]. The change in your appointment is
effective immediately.
My intent is to reduce ambiguity that is inherent in a dual reporting relationship and to increase
accountability and efficiency. I continue to value your role and contribution to the agency and the
educators and students we serve. I look forward to our future collaboration.
Sincerely,
Mark Johnson
Superintendent of Public Instruction
