In his first act as chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Education, Everett Fairchild called for a work session to discuss the performance and evaluations of Superintendent Jim Scales.
Critical of Scales in the past, Fairchild on Thursday declined to say whether he planned to talk about buying out Scales’ contract, which expires in 2012.

“I’m trying to satisfy the questions we’re getting from the public [about Scales’ contract],” he said, refusing to specify the types of questions he’s received.
Although no date has been set, Fairchild said the meeting would take place in the next two weeks.
