Knox Co. School Board interviews superintendent candidates; Domestic violence bill goes to legislature

If all goes as planned, Knox County Schools will have a new superintendent by the end of the month.

Roy Mullins, a longtime Knox Count administrator, has performed the duties of the superintendent for the past year. He replaced Dr. Charle Lindsey, whose contract was bought out by the school board.

Last week, the board picked five finalists and began interviewing them.

Joining Gene Patterson to talk about the search are school board chairperson Karen Carson, and board members Dan Murphy and Cindy Buttry.

The program concludes with State Sen. Tim Burchett and Community Coalition on Family Violence member Russ Jensen, who discuss new legislation intended to close loopholes in current domestic violence laws.
