Jackson Co. school board decides to keep assemblies that include religion

By Stephen McLamb

JACKSON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - Parents in Jackson County are responding favorably to a school board's decision to stand by assemblies that include religion despite threats from a group that is pro-separation of church and state.

Parents say they interpret the First Amendment as freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Jackson County residents are defending student led prayer at football games despite a Wisconsin organization that's threatening legal action against the school system if they don't stop. But Monday night, Jackson County's school board said no.

School superintendent Kenneth Harding said he's never gotten a complaint only a letter from a very small out of state group telling them to stop.

Interviews start for next State School Superintendent

By Melissa Johnson

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - The Alabama Department of Education will interview candidates Wednesday afternoon for the next State Schools Superintendent.

Out of the four candidates selected, only three will be interviewed; one is out of the country. The person who gets the job will succeed Dr. Joe Morton, who stepped down this summer.

Board members say this could be one of the most important decisions they've ever made. The next Superintendent, who comes after an 11 year term from Dr. Morton, will be faced with huge funding and budget obstacles and the pressure of doing more with less.

The candidates that will be interviewed are Dr. Thomas Bice, Dr. Craig Pouncey, and Mark Bounds.
