Franklin starts today as Stephens County School Superintendent

Dr. Constance Franklin will officially start today as Stephens County School Superintendent.

Franklin was hired in January to fill the position left vacant by former Stephens County School Superintendent Dr. Daniel Oldham who was reassigned from his duties as Superintendent in August, 2021 after the Board of Education announced its plan to go in a different direction.

The Board of Education initially announced Franklin as the sole finalist for the position during its meeting on December 13, 2021.

State Law mandates the Board of Education hold a 14-day public comment period prior to taking official action.

During the meeting in January, where the Board of Education took official action to hire Franklin, Chairman Jim Bellamy explained that Franklin’s start date would be March 1, 2022.

At that same meeting, Franklin said she’s eager to become a part of the community in Stephens County.
