The vote later this month to extend Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Bryan Johnson’s contract might not be a unanimous one, but most board members say they support locking him down for another four years.
On Wednesday, the school system announced that extending Johnson’s contract will be the first item of business at this month’s school board meeting on Feb. 20.
The board would have to offer the superintendent, who was hired in 2017, a new contract instead of extending his current contract, which is up in June 2021.
But longtime board member Rhonda Thurman, of District 1, said she will not vote in favor of extending Johnson’s contract at this point.
“It’s so early, and I just think he’s going to get more money much earlier,” Thurman said.
