In a recent development, the Lawrence County Board of Education will see an additional seat on the ballot for the upcoming election on November 5. This change comes in the wake of the resignation of board member Nicky Hartsfield, which was officially accepted by the Lawrence County Commissioners during a special meeting held on September 6.
The resignation triggered an automatic inclusion of the vacant seat on the ballot, necessitating a brief qualifying period for candidates interested in running for the position. As the qualifying window closed on Wednesday, two individuals, Shannon Hurst Watson and Will Walker, successfully registered to compete for the opportunity to fill the unexpired term. This election will allow voters to choose who will take on the responsibilities of the vacant seat on the board.
