Colquitt Named Interim Franklin County School Superintendent

Franklin County Assistant School Superintendent Chuck Colquitt has been named Interim School Superintendent.

Board Chair Robin Cato made the motion at the called Board of Education meeting Thursday evening.

The motion was seconded by Randall Gailey and passed unanimously.

Colquitt is assuming the Superintendent duties while School Superintendent Chris Forrer recovers.

“Many of you are aware that Mr. Forrer is in the hospital. His family, and I talk to them on a daily basis, has conveyed that they appreciate and feel your prayers and support, and she talks about how lucky they are to live in Franklin County where they have such support and prayers. She can really feel that support. It is my hope and my prayer that he is back in this seat as soon as he feels better. And I’ll be glad to take the ribbing that he always gives me during these meetings. I’ll be happy to do so,” Colquitt said.

Forrer was hospitalized late last week and continues his treatment and recovery.

Colquitt said he has been in touch with the Forrer family and they continue to ask for the community’s prayers.
