A new member was appointed last night to the Chattooga County School Board of Education.

Larry Weesner was appointed to serve until Dec. 31 in seat four, formerly held by Ron Williams. His appointment was unanimous.

Weesner, a Democrat, will take over January 1, 2013 to fill Williams’ unexpired term. He is unopposed in this year’s election for that seat.

He is expected to be sworn into office next Thursday night.
