White County Seeks BOE Candidates

CLEVELAND — The White County Board of Education has an empty seat to fill and is reaching out to citizens for help.

District 2 representative Roger Fitzpatrick resigned recently to make a second run for US Congress against incumbent District 9 Congressman Doug Collins.

At Thursday night’s board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Jeff Wilson said notice has been published in the county legal organ seeking candidates for the post. He explained that residents in District 2 will have 10 days to submit their request for consideration and the board will choose an appointee from those requesting consideration.

That appointee will fill the position until a special election can be conducted in November. The winner of that election will fill the remaining two years of Fitzpatrick’s term.

White County Probate Judge and Election Superintendent Garrison Baker will announce qualifying for the special election.
