Cady will serve school board through '95
NEW CASTLE - A rule limiting service on the Craig County School Board to 12 years has been rescinded by the Board of Supervisors.
School Board Chairman James L. Cady, who will complete 12 years of service in July, requested the change so he could be eligible to apply for reappointment for the last six months of 1995.
Craig's voters approved an elected School Board, and the first election will take place in November; the winners will begin service in January 1996. Voters also will elect members of the Board of Supervisors in November.
The supervisors have decided not to change the size of the School Board and Board of Supervisors. There will continue to be three School Board members from each of the three magisterial districts and two at-large members. The Board of Supervisors remains composed of three members, one from each district.
