Horton finalist for superintendent position in Tuscumbia
By Evan BelangerFormer superintendent of Cullman County Schools Nancy Horton is a final contender for an out-of-county school administrative job.
According to an article published in Florence’s TimesDaily Saturday, Horton is one of five candidates who will interview for superintendent of Tuscumbia City Schools in the coming weeks.
Horton is currently serving as counselor for the county alternative school, where she has been since she was narrowly defeated in the 2006 election by current Superintendent Hank Allen.
She said Saturday she will accept the position if it is offered to her.
“I’m excited about having the opportunity to interview and maybe having the opportunity to serve again,” she said.
With interviews scheduled for April 26 and 27 and May 4, 7 and 11; Horton is up against Tim Guinn, assistant principal at Russellville High School; Patricia Ragsdale, former superintendent of Cumberland County Schools in Crossville, Tenn.; Joe D. Walters, director of instruction for Hartselle City Schools, and Phillip T. Westbrook, assistant principal of Jasper City Schools.
While the final salary for the job is negotiable, the Tuscumbia School Board has set a minimum pay of $103,000.
Horton said she would have to move to take the job. If selected for the position, she will replace Superintendent Royce Massey, who is retiring.
