HSD Board Picks Jim Hargis for Vacant Seat
The Hamburg School Board has a new and an old member at the same time after the board voted during a special meeting on Monday night, June 29, to name Jimmy Hargis to fill a vacancy. John Byrd resigned from the board after he moved out of the attendance zone he represented. The board accepted Byrd's resignation Monday night and then voted unanimously for Hargis to fill the seat. Mike Hartley was the only other person mentioned during the discussion. The board members apparently felt that Hargis was familiar with the district and what is going on from his prior service and so selected him. The appointment is good only until the school elections in September when the seat will be up for a one year term. Hargis served on the board for several years until his wife was selected as elementary dean of students when he resigned. She is no longer in that position.
