Longtime board member and incumbent board chairman, W.J. (Dub) Evins, III has been unanimously re-elected head of the school board of education.
Evins was the only name placed in nomination by the school board during its last regular meeting. He humbly agreed to take the job for another year.
“I will do the best I can. We will have a year with quite a few things going on but we can make it a good year of opportunity with a building program and a number of other projects,” he said. “I wish us all best of luck and blessings.”
Evins was joined in the leadership of the board by his first district co-member Danny Parkerson who was unanimously elected vice-chairman by the board. Fellow member Shaun Tubbs was also unanimously elected for another term as secretary.
First district member Danny Parkerson was elected Vice-Chairman and Seventh District member Shaun Tubbs was re-elected Assistant Secretary.
The meeting saw Alan Hayes welcomed to the board after his election this past August.
As for official acts, the board granted permission for the high school softball team to build 40’ x 60’ covered batting cage next to the softball field. The batting cage, located on the home side of the field, will be paid for by funds generated in the program.
The board revealed that although health insurance premiums are rising by 2.5%, teachers have nothing to fear as the school board will be picking up the difference through its funds, thereby saving school employees from going into their own pockets.

And, although they have been using the fields for some times, the DeKalb County Youth Soccer Program was officially granted permission to use the fields this year at Northside Elementary School for league play. The official granting of permission was needed so the recreational league could get covered by insurance.
