Second District School Board member Charles Robinson was elected Chairman of the Board of Education Thursday night.
The board re-organizes each September, naming a chairman, vice-chairman, and an assistant secretary.
Robinson succeeds Fifth District Member W.J. (Dub) Evins III who has served as chairman for the past year.
Evins was named Vice-Chairman and Third District member Kenny Rhody was elected Assistant Secretary for the year.
Chairman Robinson welcomed Bruce Parsley to the board. Thursday night was Parsley’s first meeting with the board as a member from the sixth district. “He brings some experience as a parent and a former student of this school system and I think he will be an asset to the board.”
Robinson also congratulated Kenny Rhody for reaching level 4 in the TSBA boardsmanship program. Under the program, board members may work on achievement in meeting certain goals and criteria in moving up to level 5.
