Dr. Caprice Young and the Navigator Board of Directors have reached an agreement on a leadership transition, with Dr. Young stepping down as CEO & Superintendent effective July 1, 2026. The Board is expected to vote on a leadership plan moving forward at the Board meeting on June 15. The Board has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure stable transition. As such, over the next few months through a consulting agreement, Dr. Young has agreed to support the transition of her knowledge and critical relationships that will be needed for Navigator’s long term success. The Board has also formed an Ad Hoc Committee on Organizational Stability and Sustainability, which will be responsible for making decisions and managing this transition. The Board will take formal action on interim leadership and next steps at the regular board meeting on June 15. The Board will have more to share with staff and the broader community at that time. The Board recognizes this is a significant moment for our organization. The Board is committed to providing stable, transparent leadership through this transition and to the long-term success of our schools.
