Feagin’s extensive experience includes 26 years in various roles within the district. As the Chief Operations Officer, she is expected to lead during this transitional period, ensuring continuity and a focus on academic excellence. The decision highlights the board’s confidence in internal leadership candidates, marking a new chapter for the district.
Florence is buzzing with news this week as the Florence School District 3 (FSD3) Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of Kasey Miles Feagin as the new interim superintendent! During a special meeting held on Monday, the board made this significant decision following the retirement announcement of long-serving superintendent Dr. Laura Hickson.
After an impressive decade of dedicated service, Dr. Hickson is set to retire at the end of May. Her leadership has left a remarkable impact on the district, with many changes and improvements that have benefitted students and staff alike. The board took a moment to express their heartfelt gratitude for her vision and guidance throughout the years. Her departure marks the end of an era, but it also opens the door to new beginnings.
Now, let’s turn our attention to Kasey Miles Feagin! With an incredible 26-year tenure at FSD3, Feagin is no stranger to the educational landscape in Florence. Currently serving as the Chief Operations Officer, she has held numerous key positions within the district, making her a familiar face for many. Her impressive resume includes roles such as:
With a wealth of experience under her belt, Feagin has a strong foundation to lead FSD3 during this transitional period. The board’s decision to select her as interim superintendent followed a thorough process of structured interviews with other internal candidates. They only considered those already in key district-level leadership roles, all of whom received recommendations from Dr. Hickson herself.
While Feagin ultimately secured the interim position, there were two other impressive candidates in the running. Dr. Yvonne Commodore, who currently serves as the Director of Social and Emotional Learning and Mental Health Services, brought her experience as an educational consultant from her time in the Marion County School District. The other candidate, Ned Blake, serves as the Director of Secondary Education and has held various leadership roles, including Principal positions at both Lake City High School and J. Paul Truluck Middle School. Each candidate demonstrated a commitment to the district’s mission and values, making the decision a challenging one for the board.
Chairman of the Board, Jac’Kel Brown, stated that the choice of Feagin underscores the board’s confidence in the internal candidates and their commitment to maintaining the district’s goals amid this transition. The appointment aims to ensure continuity and uphold the district’s commitment to academic excellence.
As Florence School District 3 embarks on this new chapter with Kasey Miles Feagin at the helm, there is a sense of optimism in the air. With dedication and passion for education, Feagin is expected to further the progress made under Dr. Hickson’s guidance. The entire community is eager to see what positive changes are in store as FSD3 continues to thrive!
