Prattville, AL—The Autauga County School Board of Education in partnership with the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Superintendent Finalist Meet and Greet to allow the residents of the community to meet the finalists vying for the position of Superintendent who will lead the Autauga County School District beginning in 2021. Out of thirty-six candidates, six finalists were selected by a search committee hired by the Autauga County School Board.

A law passed during the Alabama Legislative session gave the elected school board the power to make the appointment once the current Superintendent’s term expires December 31, 2020. Superintendent Spence Agee decided not to run for reelection.

“The Board is excited to begin a new chapter for education in Autauga County, building on the sound foundation of our past successes,” said Mark Hindman, Chairman of the Autauga County School Board. “Today’s challenges require an innovative approach applying all the available resources and seeking new ways to excel in preparing students for today’s competitive, global environment. Our goal is to provide the most qualified student possible, prepared for life’s challenges and society’s needs. We are actively seeking to build a team to achieve these goals with everyone’s help!”

Due to social distancing guidelines in place, masks will be required and the Superintendent Meet and Greet will be held Monday, October 19th. The session will be held in the Prattville High School Cafeteria, 1315 Upper Kingston Road, from 5:00-6:00 PM, and will feature two of the six finalists. Interviews for the two finalists will be held immediately after each event, the public is allowed to attend the interviews.

“As the voice of the business community in Autauga County, the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of education in building and maintaining a strong local economy. As we recruit business and industry to our community, the Autauga County School System is consistently an asset we are eager to highlight,” said Patty VanderWal, President of the Prattville Area Chamber of Commerce. “Therefore, we join the Board of Education in their excitement for this next step. We know that the candidate selected will build on the past success of our school system and lead us into the future. The Chamber looks forward to continuing our partnership with the Autauga County Board of Education and School System!”
