Hoover City Schools names new superintendent
Hoover names new superintendent By Randi Hildreth | April 29, 2021 at 6:31 AM CDT - Updated April 29 at 6:32 AM
HOOVER, Ala. (WBRC) - Hoover City School leaders appointed a new superintendent during a special called meeting Wednesday.
The board voted 4 to 1 to recommend hiring Dr. Dee Fowler as the district’s next leader with the board president requesting authority from the board to negotiate a 3-year contract.
The board recently decided to not move forward in hiring any of the five finalists for the superintendent job during the last search. The board president says Dr. Fowler’s name came up several times during the search process even though he was a retired superintendent and not an applicant.

It didn’t have to happen, either.
It was yet another curious search. To many, curiously clandestine, too.
Yet it didn’t have to happen. Not this way.
At a special call meeting late Wednesday afternoon, the Hoover City Schools Board, which summarily and surprisingly rejected five finalists earlier this month, named retired educator Dee Fowler as the next Hoover City Schools Superintendent, pending the negotiation of a three-year contract.
Fowler, a former superintendent at Madison City Schools, did not apply for the opening and was never publicly interviewed.

This all could have been avoided, more than likely. Should have been avoided, actually.
All the tribulation. All the animus and accusations. All the disappointment. Even the anger.
It all could have been avoided if one man, rookie Hoover City Councilman Steve McClinton, had just followed the process a process he inherited and was implemented long ago specifically to avoid just this type of thing.
