Whitfield County Schools’ new superintendent could come from inside the system’s central office if board members like what they hear in interviews planned this week.
Preliminary interviews with Whitfield’s four assistant superintendents showed they all would make good leaders who can carry on the system’s management and teaching philosophies, Board of Education Chairman Tim Trew said.
In-depth interviews are set for today and Saturday to learn about the foursome’s financial ideas and their vision for the future, Mr. Trew said.
“We’ll probably decide Saturday if we need to broaden our search to outside of our district,” he said. “But with our preliminary interviews, we were really encouraged about their leadership capacity.”
Current Superintendent Katie Brochu is leaving to take over Richland County School District 2 outside Columbia, S.C. She will take over at the end of the school year.
