County Commission School system Commission honors Jack Huddleston announces proposed rezoning plan By Pete Gawda

The long-awaited preliminary school rezoning plan is now avail- able for public comment. Not only does the plan set attendance zones for the new Hardin Valley and Gibbs middle schools, it also adjusts the zones for Farragut, Karns, Holston, Carter, Vine and South-Doyle Middle Schools. At least two school board mem- bers expressed approval of the pro- posed rezoning shortly after it was announced. “It is clear Knox County Schools made a good faith effort to listen to the people,” was the opinion of Terry Hill, whose district includes Ball Camp Elementary School, Hardin Valley Elementary School and Hardin Valley Academy. Gloria Deathridge, whose district Former Commissioner Jack Huddleston was honored last week by the Knox County Commission for his public service and securing includes Holston Middle School and funding for a much needed traffic light in the Gibbs Community. Huddleston and his wife, Joyce, were joined during the presentation by Vine Middle Magnet, said she has Commissioner David Wright, right. received no negative comments on the proposed zoning. She was especially pleased that some long bus rides have been eliminated.

Thomas and Lynch Commission honors Larry Kendall Graham are finalists for superintendent By Pete Gawda At their meeting last Tuesday morning the superinten- dent search committee narrowed the list of applicants for Knox County Superintendent of Schools down to Bob Thomas, currently assistant Knox County superintendent and Dale Lynch, currently superintendent of schools for Hamblen County in Morristown. These two names were to be presented to the board of education at their meet- ing on March 1st. Assuming both nominees are approved at that meeting, one of them will be elected Knox County Superintendent of Schools at a special meeting at 3 p.m. on March 20. While the committee members were in agreement as to the top two candidates, the other local candidate, Jon Rysewyk, interim chief academic officer for Knox County Schools came in a strong third.

The presentation was attended by his family. “He understands people in the system,” Tony Norman said of Thomas. “The breadth of his experience is stun- ning.” “What you see with Bob (Thomas) is what you get,” was the opinion of committee chair Amber Rountree. She also called him a great listener. “He speaks the truth in love,” she added. “I think he genuinely cares about our Superintendent search system.” “Fundamentally, he’s got the experience.
