The search for Wayne
County 's next school
superintendent is on hold for now.
On Tuesday night, the school board
decided to put off the search for a permanent replacement until the new school
board is seated in July.
Instead the board will offer a contract
to Lynn Hurt to continue serving the district as the interim superintendent.
Board President Joann Hurley said board
members are reviewing several candidates to find the right fit for the job.
Earlier this month, 10 people applied
for the superintendent post. It's not clear if the new school board will
re-open the application process or choose from the existing applications.
