Flagler County's school superintendent is leaving the district for a job in Tallahassee.
Jacob Oliva announced he would step down as superintendent before the start of the next school year to become executive vice chancellor of K-12 public schools for the Florida Dept. of Education.
Oliva will work with the school board on a timeline for his departure.
Oliva worked with the school district for 17 years. He released this statement this week:
“I just want to thank the School Board, our teachers, administrators, support staff, students and parents for all of their support and confidence they placed in me. To our local governments, community leaders and partners the School District could not have grown into the premier learning organization it is today without your steadfast support. Flagler Schools is the heart and soul of our community. Flagler County will always hold a special place in my heart. I am confident the initiatives that we have put forth together and the partnerships we have cultivated will continue to evolve and grow as they impact our students and citizens for years to come.”
