The North Carolina Association of School Administrators (NCASA) reports that there are eight (8) superintendent vacancies in NC.

Hyde County Schools
Duplin County Schools
Kannapolis City Schools
Durham Public Schools
Rutherford County Schools
Clinton City Schools
Brunswick County Schools
Martin County Schools

I am not sure of the status of any of these positions, so it is difficult to say how many of them are in play. I am not even sure that Mr. Burns is interested in pursuing another job.

But I have to say that there are some intriguing possibilities here, particularly the Durham and Brunswick vacancies. His decision to resign now, far in advance of the next school year, gives him plenty of time to pursue other opportunities.
