MONTGOMERY, Alabama (WSFA) – The Montgomery County Board of Education approved contracts for Interim Superintendent Jamie Wilson and Interim School Finance Director Pamela Watkins.

Both Wilson and Watkins will be on six-month contracts as the board prepares to search for the next superintendent and school chief financial officer.

Board President Brenda DeRamus-Coleman said the district will hire a consulting firm to create a profile for the superintendent position.

“They have resources that we don’t necessarily have locally,” Coleman said. “They will be able to do a broader, more thorough search and hopefully get us a broader range of wonderful candidates to look at.”

Coleman mentioned that the consulting firm will solicit public input through public meetings, focus groups or surveys.

The school board plans to issue requests for proposals to select a consulting firm for the search.
