Former Central Bucks Superintendent Lands New Job In NC

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Four months after resigning his position as Central Buck School District superintendent, John Kopicki has found a new job.

Kopicki was chosen last week as the new superintendent for Cabarrus County Schools in North Carolina, located in the northern suburbs of Charlotte. The district’s board of education lauded Kopicki’s “experience, leadership and dedication to students” in an announcement of his hire, effective Aug 16.

Kopicki stepped down from his leadership role at Central Bucks on April 2, but no reason was given for his sudden departure. He joined Central Bucks in 2016 after serving as superintendent for the Altoona Area School District.

Central Bucks School Board Appoints Interim Superintendent

Soon after Kopicki’s resignation, the Central Bucks school board named Abram Lucabuagh as the district’s interim superintendent.

Lucabaugh is set to be introduced as the district’s next full-time superintendent at a community forum Aug. 16 at Central Bucks High School South. The event, which starts at 7 p.m., will be live-streamed online.

Lucabaugh was a principal at Central Bucks High School East for 11 years prior to becoming Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education in June 2018. He was chosen from a field of 17 qualified candidates identified by the district’s extensive, nationwide search for Kopicki’s successor.
