New Alabama School Superintendent Named
Longtime school administrator Dr. Tommy Bice was selected by the state school board as the new superintendent of education in Alabama. Bice, who had served as deputy superintendent for instruction will succeed Dr. Joe Morton, who retired in August of this year.
The former principal and school superintendent in Alexander City expressed his appreciation to the board for their confidence and committed to continue the work of Morton to create “world-class schools” in Alabama. Bice said his first priority is to meet with Craig Pouncey, who is Deputy Superintendent for Finance and was a candidate for the superintendent position, to begin preparation for the 2012 session of the Alabama Legislature.
