The Grundy County School Board called a special meeting on Monday to seat an interim director. At the meeting, school board members formally accepted Dr David Dickerson’s resignation and voted to name Dr. Willie Childers as interim director. Childers is the current principal at Pelham Elementary School and Jamie Hill will fill that position when he moves to the Central Office. Dickerson will take over as Supervisor of Elementary Instruction for Grundy County Schools.
The resignation of Dickerson came as a surprise to teachers and staff in Grundy County.
