Wake County Superintendent Tony Tata is losing another member of his leadership team.

The Pender County school board announced today that Terri Cobb, the Wake County school system's Chief of Staff, will become that district's new superintendent. Cobb used to be principal of Lockhart Elementary School in Knightdale.

Tata inherited Cobb, who was appointed Chief of Staff five years ago by Superintendent Del Burns. Several members of Tata's leadership team have left since January with some leaving on their own and others being forced out.
