The Manchester City School system is moving forward with its search for a new director of schools.
Former Director of Schools Dr Keith Brewer retired last year after having a seizure and later finding out he had a brain tumor. Since his retirement Director of Instruction Sandra Morris has been filling in until a new director is named.
So far, six candidates have applied including, Westwood Middle School Principal Chad Fletcher; Larry Thompson, of Manchester; Tullahoma East Middle School Principal Charles Lawson; Former Grundy County Director of Schools William Childers; Sharon Harper, of Chattanooga and Jan Harris, of Huntsville, AL.
No deadline date has been announced for the hiring of the new director, as the system is still accepting applications.
