Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has announced that Carrboro High School Principal Jeff Thomas has been reassigned to the district’s central office.

A district press release did not say why Thomas was reassigned, or what position he will fill at the central office. Thomas has served as principal of Carrboro High for two years, and opened the school last August.

According to the press release, Rodney Trice will serve as interim principal at Carrboro High over the summer until the selection process can be completed. Trice has served as director of Curriculum and Instruction for the district since March 2006.

District officials expect that a permanent appointment will be made prior to the beginning of the new school year in August.
