JHS principal Hagood resigns The resignation of Jackson High School's principal. Robert Hagood, was approved by the Clarke County Board of Education during its meeting Sept. 21. "We will look for an interim principal because of the timing of his resignation and the fact we have not had the opportunity to have a state-wide search for a principal," Superintendent Gerald Stephens explained to board members. Hagood's resignation will be effective at the end of September. The interim principal position will be advertised at least 14 days and Stephens said until an interim principal is hired there will be a certified staff member filling in at the school in case of emergency. Other personnel changes included the approval of a leave of absence for Genises Pate, an instructional assistant at Grove Hill Elementary School; catastrophic sick leave granted for Crystal Stabler, due to a family illness.
Bids Bids for work at the Gerald H. Stephens Sports Complex in Grove Hill and the athletic complex in Jackson were discussed. About $300,000 had been allocated by the board for asphalt, fencing, sodding, field lights, a building and dug-outs, but the lowest bid came in at $785,562. Board members voted in favor of letting McKee and Associates negotiate with the low bidder, Cooper Brothers, and have as much work completed as possible with the money allocated. Bids for the fieldhouse in Jackson were rejected and the project will be re-bid. About $700,000 had been allocated for the project, but bids came in at over $1.2 million. The re-bid will be declared an emergency so the new bids can be submitted within 10 days.
Other business Marty Parker was selected as the board's delegate for the Alabama Association of School Board's Convention. Clinton Hawkins was the alternate. Board members approved the career Tech Police Manual. Stephens told board members to consider a nominee for the Board of Equalization since Elma Averette, who currently serves on the board is running for office. The payment of bills, accounts and payroll in the amount of $3,052,731.43 was approved. The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 26 at 4 p.m.
