Madison City School board votes on teacher contracts

Posted: Updated:
MADISON, AL (WAFF) -

The Madison City School board voted not to renew 25 teacher contracts.

Superintendent Dee Fowler said that this was not unusual and it was actually less than previous years. He cited multiple reasons for the non renewals including lack of student activity for a particular subject and teachers not meeting standards.

47 teachers have also been transferred to the new James Clemens High School.

The school board is now looking to hire a new principal for James Clemens High School after the resignation of Dr. John Green. Green took a job as superintendent of the Jackson County School in Georgia.

Many applicants have already applied for the principal position. The interview committee will consist of James Clemens teachers, community members, the director of secondary education and the superintendent.

Fowler hopes to have a new principal by July 2.
