The Washington County Board of Education will have a special meeting Tuesday to formally approve Clayton M. Wilcox as the next schools superintendent, board President Wayne Ridenour said Wednesday.

The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. in the board auditorium at the central office off Commonwealth Avenue.

Wilcox, who has experience as a superintendent in Florida and Louisiana, most recently has been an executive for Scholastic Inc. in New York City.

Ridenour said the board will vote on approval of Wilcox’s appointment and his contract.

Wilcox is expected to start the job on July 1.
