Wake County school system losing head of communications ... - Blogs

Cris Mulder is leaving her position as the Wake County school system's chief of family and community engagement.

State Transportation Secretary Tony Tata has hired Mulder to be the deputy secretary for internal and external affairs. Mulder will essentially do what she's been doing for Wake overseeing communications, marketing and community outreach.

Back when Tata was superintendent, he had hired Mulder in September 2011 as part of his revamping of the communications department. Tata renamed it the Office of Family and Community Engagement to highlight his emphasis on community outreach.

Mulder isn't the first former Wake school employee that Tata has hired to be in his leadership team at DOT. Tata also named Randy Dishong, who was emergency preparedness director for the school system, to be deputy DMV Commissioner.

Mulder will start at DOT on March 11.

In the meantime, the school system has named Stella Shelton to be interim chief of family and community engagement. Shelton was the district's senior director of communications, essentially Mulder's job, from 1994 to 2002.

Shelton, a former television reporter, has spent the past decade working as an administrator in the district's Human Resources Department. Shelton was Michael Evans' predecessor.
