Desper could not comment on the transition at this time, but The Daily Tribune obtained a press release from the Pickens County Board of Education saying the board must wait two weeks before voting to employ Desper.
According to the release, "The [Pickens County] Board of Education was impressed with Dr. Desper's knowledge and experience in finance and budgeting, curriculum and instruction, and his success as a principal at all levels."
A vote is expected as early as this week.
