Looks like Dr. Bruce Benson will continue to be the Stafford superintendent through 2019.

The Stafford school board voted to extend his contact at their meeting on Wednesday night.

Benson began working in the Stafford County School system as superintendent last year, after Dr. Randy Bridges left to spend more time with his family.

There will not be a salary increase, according to a school release.

“I appreciate the Board’s confidence in my ability to continue guiding Stafford County Public Schools.  I have enjoyed my first year in Stafford County and welcome the excitement and challenges the next four years will bring.  There are few places in Virginia that rival the advantages of Stafford County and I am honored to call Stafford County my home. I look forward to ensuring improved community engagement and transparency for the school division over the next four years,” stated Benson in a release.
