Charles Nagle was picked as Columbia County's next school superintendent in a school board meeting this evening.
The Columbia County school board chose Mr. Nagle over Liberty County Superintendent Steve Wilmoth.
Currently the associate superintendent for Columbia County, Mr. Nagle's selection ends a monthslong search process to find a successor for retiring Superintendent Tommy Price.
A superintendent search committee selected Dr. Wilmoth and Mr. Nagle as the finalists for the county's top education post in December.
The board still has to officially offer Mr. Nagle the post and negotiate a salary before his selection is finalized. Should he accept, he would assume the post in July.
Mr. Nagle has served as the associate superintendent in Columbia County since 1999. Prior to that, he served as administrator or teacher in Columbia County schools since 1989.
