Board approves small revision to director-of-schools qualifications ahead of superintendent retirement
Summary
The board unanimously approved a minor revision to Policy 5.802 (qualifications and duties of the director of schools) as the district prepares to hire a new director when Dr. Satterfield retires.
The Trousdale County Board of Education unanimously approved a revision to Policy 5.802, which covers qualifications and duties of the director of schools, after members said the change would keep the district's hiring process aligned with policy ahead of an upcoming leadership transition.
Board members said the change adds three words to a section of the policy to clarify hiring expectations. Members noted the district expects Dr. Satterfield to retire within the next year and said updating the policy now would allow the board to hire a replacement under the revised language.
The motion to approve Policy 5.802 was made by Mister Atwood and seconded by Mister Woodard; the measure passed unanimously by voice vote.
Ending: Board members said adhering to written policy will guide the hiring process when the superintendent announces a firm retirement date.
