The Williamson County School Board voted to extend Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney's contract at its January 22 meeting. His contract was extended to January 15, 2017, the longest possible contract allowed by law. Looney began working for the district in December, 2009.

The Board also discussed the results of Looney's annual evaluation at Monday's meeting. Looney was called “an exemplary superintendent” by the Board. He received high marks from the group on six specific goal areas. They include:
