TIFT COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - Members of the Tift County School Board say they are getting "geared up" for their search for the next superintendent.
Starting Thursday the Georgia School Board Association will be in Tift County training members of the school board on how to properly conduct interviews for this position.
The board says it received 30 applications from across the nation.
That application is now closed and candidates will be vetted for potential interviews towards the end of September.
"Of course out new superintendent is going to be one that will need to continue that process of growth and innovation," said Stacy Beckham. "But then also it'd be great to have someone bring in different ideas because its always fun to get refreshed and a re-energized approach to different things."
Patrick Atwater is the current superintendent. He plans to retire in June of 2019.
