LAURINBURG — After a year the Scotland County Board of Education has elected a vice-chair.

Carolyn Banks was nominated and voted into the vice-chair position 4-3 against Summer Woodside. The nomination and election of a vice-chair comes after the board was stuck in a 4-4 deadlock last year between Herman Tyson and Raymond Hyatt.

Rick Singletary was elected to serve again as chairman to the board beating Darrel “BJ” Gibson 4-3.
