JONESVILLE, Va. (WJHL) — Brian Dean will serve as the interim superintendent of Lee County Public Schools.
Dean, who is currently the assistant superintendent, will assume the new role on Friday.

In an email to News Channel 11, Austin said that he believes “Dean and his incoming team will continue to be ‘Committed to Excellence’ as is the LCPS motto.”
