Memo from Loudon County Director Of Schools.

Dear Loudon County Team,

 

I would like to share some news in regards to some of our administrators and positions throughout the county.  

First, Mrs. Kim McGimsey will be retiring at the conclusion of this school year.  She is truly a shining star and will be greatly missed.  We have always thought of her as one who ministered to our students, particularly those that may have been slightly less fortunate than others.  I would like to congratulate her on a successful career with Loudon County Schools and wish her the best, she is a Champion for Education.

There will never be anyone that will be able to fill Mrs. McGimsey's shoes, however, we will transition Mrs. Maria Warren to the central office and reassign duties to most appropriately align our administrators with their strengths.  Mrs. Warren will have several duties as a supervisor, two of which will include the RTI process and elementary supervision.  She certainly has a strength in curriculum and instruction and I look forward to working with her in this new capacity.  

To replace Mrs. Warren, Mr. Marvin Feezell will transition to Philadelphia Elementary School.  Mr. Feezell has proven to be a great leader at Steekee Elementary and I'm sure he will have a successful transition to Philly.  His wit and technologically inclined mind will fit well at Philly, however, I must say I am a little nervous to have him and Mr. Gentry in the same building all day.  

Finally, Mrs. Tracy Franklin will replace Mr. Feezell at Steekee.  Mrs. Franklin has had great success across the county as a Reading Implementation Specialist as well as being a leader at the state level for Reading.  We know she will serve the students, faculty, and community of Steekee well in the upcoming years.   

 

Thank you for your hard work to prepare our students to be successful in life.  I'm so proud of the way we have worked this year and know that we will finish this last month strong.
