BOE Names Steve Barnette the Sole Finalist for Superintendent

The Paulding County Board of Education has named Steve Barnette the sole finalist to be the next superintendent of
the Paulding County School District. Mr. Barnette was approved as the sole finalist at the
school board’s regular meeting today. Georgia law requires that 14 days pass between a
candidate being named finalist and the appointment becoming official. The school board will
vote on final approval following that period. In May, the school board had named Mr.
Barnette interim superintendent effective June 1, 2021.
The Paulding County School District is located in Dallas, Georgia. With 33 schools, more
than 30,000 students, and more than 3,800 employees across the county, the school district
strives to Engage, Inspire and Prepare students for success today and tomorrow. More
