Jefferson County Schools just hired away the Alabama State Department of
Education's veteran Chief of Staff as its superintendent, for the highest
salary of any superintendent in the state. WBHM's Dan Carsen caught up
with Craig Pouncey, the new leader of Alabama's second-largest school
district, on his first full day on the job. The former teacher and assistant
principal says one reason for his move was to get away from politics and
back to his roots.
