The Knox County Board of Education approved a salary range of
$200,000 to $240,000 for the district's next superintendent during its
meeting Wednesday night.
The district is currently searching for its next superintendent. As of Monday, nine people had put their names in for consideration. The deadline for candidates to apply for the job is Friday.
Board member Amber Rountree, who is leading the board's three-member superintendent search committee, said earlier this week that they are prepared to take additional time to find the right candidate, if necessary.
“While
we do have a timeline, the board is most focused on finding the best
leader for Knox County Schools," she said. "So, if we do have to take
some additional time to do so, we’re willing to do that. We don’t want
to rush into a decision. We want the very best person to lead our
district to make our schools the best in the South.”
During
Wednesday's meeting, the board also approved a resolution opposing any
state legislation creating a voucher program in Tennessee.
