Due to the resignation of long time board of education member O. Gene King, there is an open position on the November ballot to elect a new board of education member. Citizens of Clay County who live in either District B or C are eligible to file for the open position. The cost to file is $25. Applications must be submitted no later than 4:00 pm on August 19 in the Clay County Clerk’s office. As a community member, a leader or a parent this is the perfect opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the county’s youth. As of press time only one candidate, David Pierson, has filed.
