Sullivan became assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in 2019. He will follow Superintendent Bill Spurlock in the position.
Prior to his tenure in the central office, Sullivan served in other positions throughout RCS. He also spent time in Bedford County Schools.
The next step for the board is a contract negotiation for Sullivan. Spurlock will leave the helm by June's end.
