PENDER COUNTY, N.C. — Jason Jordan was sworn in as the newest member of the Pender County Board of Education during the board’s regular meeting on Monday, November 9, 2026. Judge James H. Faison III administered the oath of office.
Jordan will represent District 2, filling the seat previously held by Beth Burns, who stepped down to serve on the Pender County Board of Commissioners.
Jordan ran unopposed for the District 2 seat in the November 3 general election. His November swearing-in allows him to begin serving ahead of the board’s customary December seating of newly elected members.
As a board member, Jordan will help guide decisions affecting students, employees and families throughout Pender County Schools. The board’s work includes setting district policies, approving budgets and working with the superintendent to support the school system’s goals.
