The Hall County Board of Education Monday announced the three-year contract extension of Superintendent Will Schofield.
Schofield and the Board of Education agreed to a three-year extension on his contract, which was previously set to expire on June 30, 2024, according to officials. The new contract secures Schofield’s role until June 30, 2027.
“God has richly blessed my family by enabling us to call Hall County home, reside in this community, and for me to be of service to our families as they raise the next generation,” Schofield said. “I am grateful for the confidence of this board, and I commit to keep working to make this school system ‘the most caring place on earth.’”
Schofield’s current salary is $287,000 a year. Under the new contract, that salary will increase in FY 2025 to $302,000.
“This is great news to extend Mr. Schofield’s contract for another 3 years,” Board Chair Craig Herrington said. “While under his leadership, Hall County Schools have made great strides. He has expanded programs of choice and our business partnerships throughout this area. It’s been great to have someone in his position with such a passion for serving our children."
