HUNTSVILLE, Alabama --
Superintendent Casey Wardynski and the Huntsville school board on
Saturday took another step toward a drastic reorganization of the city
school system by approving the contracts of several outside consultants
who will oversee district business operations on a temporary basis.
The consultants were hired in a special Saturday session so they will
be in place by Thursday's board meeting.
...
The board also approved a contract with Lean Frog, a Huntsville-based
business solutions firm owned by Byron Headrick, one of the consultants
who reviewed the district's business practices. Headrick will work with
the district through the end of the fiscal year -- and be paid a
maximum of $152,000 -- to help develop its new business practices.
