Fentress County Board of Education voted Monday night to select Kristi Hall to lead the school system.
Hall was one of two finalists for the position narrowed down by the school board. Hall will replace current Director Of Schools Mike Jones who will retire June 30.
Hall said she wanted to celebrate the positives of the school system more and put children first. She said she will work with Jones in the closing months of the school year to create a smooth transition.
