Will Dr. Jill Hobby be the Next Leader at Halls Middle School?

UPDATE: May 12, 2009 5:50 p.m. We were close but not accurate on this prediction. Hobby will now lead Whittle Springs Middle. She has served as Assistant Principal at Northwest Middle School. While we were not accurate, Whittle Springs is the closest middle school to Halls.

Sources within the Knox County School District and tied to the Halls community have given Brian’s Blog a heads up that it appears that Dr. Jill Hobby may be the next Principal at Halls Middle School to replace Retiring Principal Doug Oliver.

It seems that Dr. Donna Wright and Dr. Hobby were recently seen in a public setting having a semi private conversation. As Dr. McIntyre is still learning the individuals within the school district he is currently leaning on Wright to help make the decisions.

By this time next year, Brian’s Blog believes that Dr. McIntyre will be picking his own administrators based on their individual record and ability and not the good ole girl/boy system that has existed within the school district since 1976 when Earl Hoffmeister was elected Superintendent.
