School board extends McCoy's contract

It talked for an hour in closed session with Commerce High School athletic director and football coach Steve Savage, who was a late addition to the night’s agenda.

The BOE spent 30 more minutes in closed session, half of which was spent on McCoy’s evaluation.

When open session reconvened, the school board announced McCoy’s extension and approval rating (only two ratings, “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory,” are available) after approving other personnel items.

Those moves included approving the resignation of long-time CHS counselor Elaine Roller, who is taking a counseling position at East Jackson Elementary School.
