This morning the Knox County School Board interviewed Assistant Superintendent Robert “Bob” Thomas as one of its five finalist for the position of Superintendent. While I was unable to watch the interview, many of our contributors did watch and reported back that Thomas was impressive.

They report that Thomas demonstrated a knowledge of curriculm and instruction. They were surprised at this as Thomas has been the schools budget guy. But, that confirmed what many people have said, “Thomas is well rounded and ready to go to work on day one.”

Eric Williams from Collier County Florida School District in Naples, Fl interview is tonight from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
