Is a New Lauderdale School Superintendent on the Horizon?

There are four candidates in Lauderdale County seeking the position of superintendent of the school system. That number includes the current office holder Jon Hatton. The three who vie to unseat Hatton are Jerry Hill, Gary Dan Williams, and Scott Jones. Whoever wins the Republcan primary will be the winner of the office. Welcome to our one party state.

We would like to hear from each of these individuals in the next few days. No one who writes here knows any of these gentlemen. (What? No females qualified? Pitiful, pitiful!) With the exception of having seen photos of Supt. Hatton, Shoalanda herself would not know any of these individuals if they passed on the street. In other words, no friendships, no connections, no preconceived notions.

We do know what our readers tell us - that many are dissatisfied with Mr. Hatton. Are these negative opinions justified? That's what we seek to determine. Let us hear your experiences with Lauderdale County Schools. Please leave out any sex club stories, and we'll publish these opinions along with our endorsement.

Lauderdale County - Let's move it forward!
