The Cleveland City School board unanimously voted Thursday afternoon to offer the job of director of Schools to Dr. Russell Dyer.
Dr. Dyer serves as the chief of staff of schools in Collierville, Tn. If Dr. Dyer accepts the school board's contract, he will be paid $132,500 a year. After contract negotiations, the board plans for Dr. Dyer to start at Cleveland City Schools on July 1.
Dr. Dyer's selection comes a few months after the last director of schools, Martin Ringstaff, was fired after it was revealed on social media he was having an inappropriate relationship with another woman.
