The Eastern Pulaski School Board approved one-year contract extensions for the corporation’s principals and athletic director Monday. High School Principal Rick DeFries, Middle School Principal Ryan Dickinson, Elementary School Principal Jill Collins, and Athletic Director Bill Ball are now under contract through June of 2020.
Meanwhile, Eastern Pulaski is moving closer to adding another administrator. Superintendent Dan Foster told board members that about 35 people applied for the new assistant principal position at the high school. “We have interviewed five people at this point, and we have five more interviews to do,” he said. “The goal of the committee is to narrow that down to two or three to bring to the board – that was the request of the board – to come back for final interviews.”
Foster said those will take place during an executive session, while a special session may need to be scheduled to finalize the selection.
