Hoover school board to interview 3rd finalist for chief school financial officer

The Hoover school board on Monday night plans to interview a third finalist to become the district’s new chief school finance officer.

Two finalists were interviewed on April 25, but a third finalist has been added to the mix – Jackson County Chief School Finance Officer Tina Hancock. She is to be interviewed during the school board meeting set to start at 4:30 p.m.

Hancock’s school district in Jackson County serves about 5,500 students in 18 schools and had a fiscal 2015 budget of $64 million.

The other two finalists interviewed by the Hoover school board were Jefferson County Chief School Financial Officer Sheila Jones and former Birmingham Chief School Financial Officer Arthur Watts Jr., who currently is working as a finance supervisor for Montgomery Public Schools.
