Georgia’s third largest school system is on the hunt for a new top lawyer.

Jennifer Hackemeyer, chief legal officer at the DeKalb County School District in Atlanta and a longtime Georgia in-house education lawyer, retired, effective Dec. 31, said Eileen Houston-Stewart, the school system’s chief communications and community relations officer. Marissa Key has been named interim CLO while a search for Hackemeyer’s successor is conducted. Houston-Stewart said she has no additional information about that search, including its planned scope and length.
