(WBRC) - Hoover City School leaders appointed a new superintendent during a special called meeting Wednesday. The board voted 4 to 1 to recommend hiring Dr. Dee Fowler as the district’s next leader with the board president requesting authority from the board to negotiate a 3-year contract. The board recently decided to not move forward in hiring any of the five finalists for the superintendent job during the last search. The board president says Dr. Fowler’s name came up several times during the search process even though he was a retired superintendent and not an applicant.
