Dee Fowler to serve as interim superintendent of Morgan County Schools
MORGAN COUNTY – Former Madison City Schools Superintendent Dee Fowler will serve as Morgan County Schools’ interim superintendent as the district begins the search for Bill Hopkins’ permanent replacement.
The Morgan school board voted Thursday to appoint Fowler, who will begin work July 1. Hopkins’ last day is June 30. He starts his new job the next day as director of schools for the Fayetteville, Tennessee, school system.
Fowler said he looks forward to working in Morgan County.
“I’m very excited to work with a progressive school district and help them as they look to find a leader that will take them on for the next few years,” Fowler said.
Fowler has worked in public education for over 40 years and was the Madison City Schools superintendent for 10 years.
Fowler will not apply for the permanent position.
“Mr. Fowler has expressed that he is retired and has no desire to be appointed as superintendent,” said Morgan County school board Chairman John Holley.
