More than 4 months following the resignation of Hamilton Southeastern Schools Superintendent Yvonne Stokes, with a large separation package, the school board is moving closer to naming a permanent superintendent.
At the end of the January 24th session, board President Juanita Albright said the board, with the help of outside contractor Administrative Assistance, has chosen one candidate for the job. Dr. Albright did not reveal the name, or any other identifying information about the chosen superintendent candidate.
In the coming days, Albright expects an announcement of a public board meeting to review the proposed contract for the new superintendent, but before the name of the new superintendent candidate is revealed.
“We anticipate that we’ll announce the final candidate shortly after the process closes,” said Albright.
Approval of the superintendent’s contract will be conducted at the same meeting when the name of the superintendent is revealed, according to the board president.
Matt Kegley, formerly assistant superintendent, has been acting superintendent since the resignation of Dr. Stokes.
