Spelling Bee winners.
The main item on the agenda was the discussion about the open Director of Schools position. The board voted to close the application process. They decided to wait to discuss the candidates because a board member had a recent death in her family and had not seen videos of the interviewing of the finalist. School board Chairman Mike Lewis said he thought the board should ask a local education administrator about the possibility that he might interested in being the next director of schools. The board decided to ask Dr Joey Vaughn, principal at Coffee County High School if he would be willing to be the next leader of the school system.
