HALEYVILLE - Haleyville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Holly Sutherland has been named superintendent of Hartselle City Schools.
Sutherland announced the news to a system wide gathering of faculty and staff at Haleyville Elementary School Thursday afternoon, May 22.
A Haleyville native, Sutherland has served as Haleyville City Schools superintendent since 2017. Prior to that, she was the principal of Haleyville High School for three years.
Her last day with Haleyville City Schools will be sometime in June.
ADDISON - The expansion of ambulance services by the Winston County Rescue Squad also means an expansion of the Addison Fire Station.
The rescue squad will continue to also use the Arley Fire station, but will also have an office in Addison at the fire station on County Road 41 at Alexander Park. This will require a renovation of office space and additional bay space for an ambulance, Kyle Woodard, member of both the fire department and rescue squad, said.
