Last month, the Walker County Board of Education has announced the resignation of Stacey Meeks from the Post 4 School Board seat. Mr. Meeks, who was elected in November, had announced that he would be relocating to another area of the county and would be unable to fulfill his duties. In accordance with state law, the Board was required to appoint a replacement within 45 days of the resignation.  Earlier this week, the board selected Kevin Richardson, a longtime Walker County educator, to fill the position.  The vote to appoint Richardson was unanimous.  In a post on social media on Tuesday, the Walker Board of Education welcomed Richardson and said that they looked forward to his serving on the school board.
