Pamela Baldwin has been named the next superintendent for Asheville City Schools.
Baldwin, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction for Scotland County Schools in Laurinburg, was chosen over two other finalists, Ronald Hargrave, of Statesville, and Jeff Cox, of Sparta.
Baldwin, who will take over for interim superintendent Bobbie Short starting July 1, got a standing ovation from city schools staff at the special meeting and a line of several dozen hugs after.
