PAMPLICO — The Florence School District 2 Board of Trustees agreed to submit a letter requesting proposals from potential educational consultants for the district’s superintendent search at a regular meeting Monday.
Superintendent Dr. Steve Quick, who provided the update on the district’s superintendent search, said the board could draft a letter to potential consultants requesting a proposal on what it would cost the district to use an outside source to conduct the search.
The board could not unanimously agree on a candidate from the three finalists previously selected by the board, so the board will conduct another search for its next superintendent.
Finalists included David Bradley, superintendent of Charles City Community School District in Charles City, Iowa; Dr. Kathi Gibson, a retired superintendent from Northampton
County Schools in Jackson, N.C.; and Stephen Stohla, superintendent of Brookfield Local Schools in Brookfield, Ohio.
Quick’s contract with the district ends June 30, but he will stay on until the board has found a replacement or interim.
The board agreed the board’s chairman, Thadis Calucutt, would work to draft and sign the letter to be mailed to potential consultants.
Also during the meeting, the board approved hiring Timothy Phillip Gibbs as principal of Hannah-Pamplico High
Henry M. Dixon served as the high school’s (interim) principal, according to the school’s Web site, http://hphs.flo2.k12.sc.us.
The position hasn’t been filled with a permanent employee since Bernard McDaniel was the principal in 2006.
Gibbs is the assistant principal of operations at South Point High School in Gaston County, N.C. He is also a graduate of Hannah-Pamplico High School.

- A motion authorizing Charles Hyman, the district’s assistant superintendent, to apply for grant funding for Title I projects totaling $344,388, for the 2008-09 school year.
