McCoy named interim school superintendent

Randy McCoy, the retired superintendent from the Tupelo school system, has been named interim superintendent for the Meridian Public School District.

School board president Don Evans says the search will continue for a permanent school superintendent.

Evans told The Meridian Star that McCoy would replace Terry Larabee, who will be working elsewhere in the school system. He says Larabee had been told he would serve as interim schools chief through June.

Evans says the job will be re-advertised.

Charlie Kent Jr. resigned from the post in March.
