Manchester Decides on Director of Schools

After a long grueling process the Manchester Board of Education decided in a 4-1 vote to offer Dr. Don McPherson a two-year contract for Director of Schools.
The contract will include an $110,000 annual salary for McPherson the former superintendent of Alabama’s Coffee County Schools.
The Coffee County, Alabama Board of Education and McPherson agreed to a separation agreement in July of last year, which resulted in the superintendent’s term ending after 4 ½ years, with 4 years remaining.
McPherson’s attorney, Thomas Brantley, reportedly called the situation a witch hunt.
The Manchester Board of Education hopes to have a contract signed with Dr. McPherson by mid-June.
