The Wake County Board of Education has extended the Wake County Public School System superintendent’s contract another year. It now expires June 30, 2026.
It’ll be under a new name: Catty Quiroz Moore. That’s after Moore, who has long gone by Cathy, said “Cathy” contradicts some federal identification documents. She first mentioned the problem during a board meeting last month, noting “Catty” is her given Hispanic name.

School system websites and other records now refer to her as “Catty.”
The school board reviews Moore’s contract each fall, per contract terms, and decides whether to extend it another year.
Last year, the board extended it another year by an 8-1 vote, with Karen Carter voting against it.
On Tuesday, the board approved the extension without dissent, with board members Jim Martin and Tara Waters recommending the extension prior to the vote.
Martin said the district gives four-year rolling contracts to teachers, as well as the superintendent.
The extension doesn't include extra pay.
Moore was hired as superintendent in 2018 and earns $328,504.92 per year in base salary.
