WCS Director Interviews: Round Two Schedule

The three finalists for Director of Schools in Williamson County will each spend a day next week touring the district, visiting schools, and participating in a second interview with the School Board. The public is invited to a morning reception all three days (August 18, 19, and 20) from 8:15am until 9:15am in the Carolyn Campbell Conference Room at the Central Office. In addition, the evening interviews from 6:30pm until 8:30pm each night in the same location are also open to the public.

Michael Looney, current Superintendent of Butler County School District in Alabama, will visit on Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Looney received the highest number of "points" when the School Board completed a matrix system comparing the candidates following the first round of interviews.

Dr. Barry Carroll, current Superintendent of Limestone County Schools in Alabama, will visit on Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Carroll received the third highest number of "points" on the matrix, behind both Looney and Dennis Dearden.

    The vote will be Monday night, August 24, at the 7pm School Board meeting at the Administrative Complex in Franklin. Of course, the board may choose not to hire any of them, choose to interview them again, or select one to hire.
