The Stephens County Board of Education has arranged for the county’s former superintendent Bryan Dorsey to assume those duties again on an interim basis.
Stephens County Schools Director of Human Resources John Stith III announced the board’s decision in a press release Thursday evening.
“It is the intention of the Board to pursue the hiring of a new, full-time Superintendent during the course of this next year, but having Bryan available to handle the administration of the school system on a day-to-day basis allows the Board to focus on the important task of selecting the next full-time leader of our school system,” the release states.
Dorsey will assume the position on a part-time basis, consistent with state retirement rules. He will work closely with the school system’s administrative staff to “provide the leadership that is needed as we enter into a new school year.”
The announcement of Dorsey’s return comes less than one week after the Stephens County school board let Dr. Daniel Oldham go as superintendent after one year on the job.
