CLEVELAND, Ga. — Brock Pulliam, 46, will replace Roger Fitzpatrick on the White County Board of Education.
Fitzpatrick resigned his position to become a candidate for the 9th District Congressional seat currently held by Doug Collins.

The unanimous decision to award Pulliam the interim position was made Thursday evening following interviews with citizens in District 2. Pulliam is a floor covering salesman who lives in the Mossy Creek area with his wife who is a teacher at White County Middle School.

Board of Education Chairwoman Kendyl Brock-Hunter, said the decision was challenging, “ It was a tough decision but, we found the person that we feel will fit the best during this interim time,” she said.
Pulliam will fill the position until a special election can be held in November.
