Dr. Haas Out, New Leader In

Dr. Matthew Haas has officially stepped down as superintendent of Albemarle County Schools after a clean, mutually agreed-upon departure — complete with full pay, benefits through June 2027, a $257K+ salary bump starting July 1, and an $800 bonus. School board chair Rebecca Berlin praised his service, while Dr. Chandra Hayes takes over as acting superintendent. The district is also navigating internal changes, including Joe McCauley’s administrative leave, and is now launching a nationwide search for Haas’s permanent replacement — a major leadership transition underway.
