The Barrow County School Board meets tonight in Winder: the Board is expected to ratify the selection of Jordan Raper as the newest member of the Barrow County Board of Education. Raper was selected last week to fill the unexpired term of Rolando Alvarez. Alvarez left the School Board to run in a March 19 special election to fill an unexpired term on the Barrow County Commission.

There will be a special election in March to fill a vacant seat on the City Council in Hartwell: candidates will qualify January 28 through 30 to fill the unexpired term of Councilman Billy Ethridge, who died this past November at the age of 82.
