The Chattooga County Board of Education met on Thursday evening and approved several personnel changes.

Board of Education Chairman Eddie Elsberry told WZQZ News that the changes came about because of a retirement that is planned for the end of the year.

Beth Hall will be retiring and the board has approved current Assistant Chattooga High School Principal and Chattooga High School Athletic Director Jeremy Heathcock to take over the special education program for the school system.  The board also approved Angela Culbert to become the new Assistant Principal at Chattooga High School.

Thursday evening was also the first meeting for new board of education member Spencer Hogg who was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Dr. Julia Houston who resigned in May.
