CULLMAN – On Thursday evening, the Cullman County Board of Education (CCBOE) elected its officers for the new term, naming Heath Allbright board president and Wayne Myrex vice president.
The board voted to add the position of accounting manager to the central office, moving previous local school accountant Melissa Holcombe to the post.
Facility improvement expenditures approved
The board also approved bids for two phases of renovation for the Cold Springs High School cafeteria. A & S Electrical Contractors had both of the approved bids: phase one in the amount of $52,375 and phase two in the amount of $134,971. Additionally, the board approved Good Hope High School’s proposed $22,950.33 purchase of an infield maintenance machine for use by the baseball and softball teams, with the cost to be divided between the budgets of those two teams over the next five years.
