Clarke BOE welcomes new members tonight

School Superintendent Demond Means and the Clarke County School Board meet this evening in Athens: it’s a 6 o’clock session at the HT Edwards Building on Dearing Extension. It will be the first meeting for the three newest members of the local Board of Education: Kara Dyckman, Lakeisha Gantt, and Tawanna Mattox all won election to their Clarke County School Board seats last year.

The Elberton City Council has signed off an intergovernmental agreement with Elbert County Commissioners and the City of Bowman on a plan to share revenues from a proposed 1 percent special purpose local option sales tax for transportation. Elbert County voters will vote on the TSPLOST referendum in March.

Hall County Commissioners will take up today the county version of an ordinance that was approved earlier this week by the City Council in Gainesville: the measure, under the authorization of a new state law, would allow the Commission to change the hour at which restaurants in unincorporated Hall County can serve alcohol on Sundays. Right now it’s 12:30pm; the new measure would make it 11am. Commissioners meet at 6 o’clock this evening at the Hall County Government Center in Gainesville.
