The Jackson-Madison County School Board held both a specially called board meeting and a specially called work session, Tuesday evening. During the meeting, the nine-person board agreed that should the local stakeholders successfully buy the Lambuth campus, the superintendent would ask if the district could take over the use of the university’s athletic fields and facilities. The work session focused primarily around the salary for the next district superintendent. Salary proposals ranged from $140,000 to $160,000 a year with incentives for things such as graduation rates. “We need to be a school system that people look at and say this is where I want my kids to go,” said Bob Alvey, Chairman of the School Board. “We have to get a leader that can inspire that kind of vision and put that kind of programs in place to cause people in the community to feel that way.” Current superintendent Nancy Zambito handed in her resignation late last year. She will leave the district at the end of June after five years on the job.
