The contract for the man the Rutherford County School Board tapped to become the next director of schools will be up for discussion at a special called meeting this week.

Board members will review the agreement with Oakland High School principal Bill Spurlock at the open to the public meeting, set for 5pm Wednesday at the school board offices.

Spurlock was offered the job as director of schools last week, beating out finalists John Ash, principal of Central Magnet School and Richard Zago, assistant superintendent of instruction.
