School Board Leaning Toward Local Candidate For Permanent School Superintendent
Monday, July 19, 2021 - by Dennis Norwood
After voting to make Dr. Nakia Townsend the interim schools superintendent, the Hamilton County School Board decided to table any discussion of compensation and whether to launch a national search for Dr. Bryan Johnson’s permanent successor until after the Hamilton County Commission decides on who will fill the currently unoccupied District 9 seat on the board.
That seat was left vacant when Dr.
Steve Highlander was appointed to fill the seat on the Commission left vacant when Chester Bankston resigned to move to Florida to be near his family.
