FLOYD TO LEAVE LEXINGTON THREE IN JUNE 2015 Lexington County School District Three’s superintendent Dr. J. Chester Floyd announced to the district’s Board of Trustees tonight that he will leave the district after six years of service on June 30, 2015. Dr. Floyd came to Lexington Three in August, 2009 to serve as interim superintendent and was named superintendent in November 2009. Dr. Floyd began his career in public education 50 years ago as a math and physics teacher and basketball coach. In the ensuing years, he has served as a principal and assistant superintendent for personnel and for instruction. Thirty-eight years ago, he assumed his first job as a superintendent in Florence 5-Johnsonville and served there for 11 years; then in Lexington One for 9 years; and 12 years in Berkeley County, where he retired in 2009. “I have grown so fond of this district (Lexington 3) and the outstanding employees that make it a wonderful place to work for children,” stated Dr. Floyd. “It has been my pleasure to serve as superintendent of this district and I look forward to watching them continue to make educating children a top priority.” Since coming to Lexington 3, Dr. Floyd has worked closely with the Board and administrators to increase the rigor in classrooms and enhance the facilities and technology of the district. Board members accepted Dr. Floyd’s request to have a new superintendent in place by July 1, 2015 and all Board members stated their appreciation for the time Dr. Floyd has given to Lexington Three and thanked him for his service. They also commended him for his leadership to both the students and the employees of the district. According to the Board, they will wait until after the holidays to make a decision on their plan of action for selecting a new superintendent for the district of 2000 students and 335 employees. “We want to have ample time to consider all of our options and want to make the best choice for our new superintendent, “cited Board Chairman, Craig Caughman. “Our next superintendent will have some very large shoes to fill and we want to make sure we get the right person for the job.”
