Pathways of transition merged at the monthly Rome City Schools Board of Education meeting Tuesday evening.

On the eve of Rome Superintendent Gayland Cooper’s retirement, the board announced the three finalists who are in the running to replace him when he ends his nine-and-a-half year tenure next month.

Finalists are James Arnold, superintendent of Pelham City Schools; Jeff Bearden, superintendent of Fayette County Schools; and Bill McCown, superintendent of Gordon County Schools.

Maybe Gordon County can catch a break and McCown (also know as McClown) and he will get the job.

Hopefully, he will take his entire staff. None of them know how to improve schools and maybe the teacher morale will improve. Hopefully, he gets the job and the new superintendent will have the guts to get rid of some of the sorry principals some of the county schools have. Unfortunately, Rome is probably too smart to hire him.
