Walker County Schools are looking for an interim School Board Member for Post 3 with last week’s resignation of former member Mike Carruth.
Tuesday, the school system announced a press release on the vacancy created by Carruth’s departure July 9th. Superintendent Damon Raines spoke to the board Monday night on the upcoming interview process for the panel selected candidate to serve until the November 5th election.
Carruth and another board member were targets of a lawsuit last year alleging nepotism.
Both were later cleared by a Superior Court Judge’s decision.
Carruth was first elected to the Chattanooga Valley post in 2004 and re-elected in 2022.
No reason was given for his resignation.
Those interested in the board vacancy can submit their name and contact information by Monday
