A snafu occurred at the Union County School Board meeting on Thursday, September 11, 2025. Board members re-elected Chairperson Jessica Brock in a 3-2 vote with Dr. Jimmy Carter absent and Charlie Hamilton not voting. The attorney advised the Board that the vote was valid. But further research revealed a state requirement of four votes to elect the Chairperson. So the Board will again be electing a chairperson in a special called meeting on September 29. Terry Washam was elected by acclamation as Vice-Chair and will serve as chairperson until the Chair is elected.
