WINDSOR - Dr. Michael Priddy officially took the reins of Bertie County Schools last week.

A Monday afternoon press conference was little more than an official introduction of the man who will guide the school district for the next five months.

Bertie County Board of Education Chairman Rickey Freeman began the press conference by welcoming the new interim school leader.

“The Board has confidence in the ability of Dr. Priddy to guide and direct Bertie County Schools during this transition period,” Freeman said. “We will be working closely with him to use all the resources available to us to provide the best opportunities and needs for the children of Bertie County.”

Lets hope some of the seriously needed budget cutting does take place. Some of it is so obvious, that we do not need to wait until the permanent Superintendent comes on board before we cut the waste.
