Bonnie Leeann Myers has been appointed to the Calloway County Board of Education, according to Lisa Gross, spokeswoman with the Kentucky Department of Education.
Myers was one of three nominees who had recently been interviewed for the vacant position. The other two were Jenger Deshields and Larry Crutcher.
“Once the interviews were completed, the interview committee made a recommendation to Kevin Noland, interim education commissioner,” Gross explained. “The interim commissioner agreed with the selection and Myers was notified of her selection. She can take the seat at the next regular meeting.”
"We're looking forward to welcoming Leeann Myers to the Calloway County Board of Education,” said Calloway County School Superintendent Steve Hoskins. “We've placed her name on the agenda for next week's board meeting to take care of swearing her in as a replacement for Linda Avery's vacancy, and we'll be sending her the monthly books of information she'll need to be prepared to get right to work."
Attempts to contact Myers Friday were unsuccessful.
Hoskins had previously noted that he was looking forward to the selection of a new board member. He added that he looked forward to a quality, professional working relationship with the individual chosen and he felt certain the entire board would continue to serve the community, the faculty and staff and the students in the best way possible.
The seat on the board was vacated after Avery, a six-year member of the board of education, left the position to assume her duties as circuit court clerk for Calloway County.
Initially, it was reported that four individuals had picked up applications prior to the Jan. 22 deadline.
Hoskins said at that time, of the four people picking up applications, one was uncertain about the districting requirements.
The position represents Educational Division #2.
Myers will serve an appointment that is effective until the November 2007 general election.
