According to three different sources, it has come to our attention that Hamilton County School Superintendant Jesse Register will step down as of 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Speculation is that he has received an offer from a bigger market.
Update, 8:40 p.m.:
A source reveals that Charlotte and San Diego are currently interested in Register and Fulton County (Atlanta) has been in the past. He's reportedly been offered twice the amount of pay he receives now.

Hamilton County School Supt. Dr. Jesse Register plans to resign, sources said.
The resignation could come as early as Tuesday morning, officials said. A press conference has been set for 10 a.m. at the county schools central office at Bonny Oaks.
The County School Board has a meeting set for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the central office.

It would be up to the County School Board to name his replacement.
Several County Commission members have been calling for Dr. Register to leave, though he has enjoyed the support of all but one County School Board member.
He became superintendent here in January 1997 and led the consolidation of the city and county schools.
