Morgan County Central Office Staff
In May 2000, the Morgan County School Board appointed the current Director of Schools. This was the first time in the history of the county that the Director (formerly known as the superintendent) was not elected. According to a law passed in 2000, all school systems in Tennessee will have appointed directors instead of popularly-elected superintendents.
The Director of Schools appoints an Assistant Director and eight other supervisors to manage and oversee the efficient operation of the school system's various countywide departments. It is the responsibility of these Central Office staff to work with the school principals to best meet the needs of the students and to enhance each school's unique instructional program.
In June 2001, Morgan County Schools moved to its current location on Flat Fork Road. This facility offers more room for existing staff, plus a large meeting hall and a smaller conference room. In addition, a state-of-the-art networked technology lab is located downstairs for county-wide computer training. The facility houses the offices of the county-wide supervisors and their staff members. The school board monthly workshops and regular meetings are held in the meeting hall. In addition, several organizations, including the Morgan County Chamber of Commerce, use this facility for their monthly meetings.
