WCS board to invite Carroll, Dearden
and Looney back for full-day visits
This just in from Carol Birdsong, Williamson County Schools spokesperson...
The Williamson County Board of Education met in special session Thursday night to narrow the field of candidates in its Director of Schools search. The Board voted to invite three candidates to return to the district for a second interview.
Those candidates include:
* Dr. Barry Carroll, superintendent, Limestone County Schools, AL
* Dennis Dearden, senior vice-president, Partnership for Excellence, AZ
* Mike Looney, superintendent, Butler County School District, AL
The candidates are expected to visit the district, each for one day, Aug. 18, 19 and 20. Those visits will be scheduled through the search firm, Ray and Associates. More information regarding the visits and second interview will be released when dates, times and locations are confirmed.
The next regular meeting of the Board will be Monday, Aug. 17, in the auditorium of the Administrative Complex.

Five interviews down, WCS decision ahead
James Wilson, former Fulton County, Ga. superintendent who during a brief tenure with Williamson County Schools was Centennial High School's first principal and oversaw its construction, was the final of five candidates interviewed this week for the open Director of Schools position.
The school board will meet at 6 p.m. tonight before its regularly scheduled work session to discuss the candidates and decide on its next course of action, which reportedly will be to select who they want to bring back for a final round of interviews.
I wasn't able to make the Wilson interview, but both Williamson A.M. education report Maria Giordano and Williamson Herald reporter Donna O'Neil have spent the last three nights at the county's administration building and have filed stories on the proceedings.
