Calhoun BOE picks new member
— The Calhoun City Board of Education has a new member, local businessman and former Calhoun City Schools student David Scoggins.
Scoggins, a partner in the public accounting firm of Winter & Scoggins in Calhoun, was appointed on Tuesday to replace Eddie Hall, who resigned earlier this year. The board had the option to wait until next year’s general election for someone to be elected to fill the seat but chose to appoint Scoggins following an interview process.
“Mr. Scoggins will represent our community well on the board of education,” said Superintendent Michele Taylor. “We are pleased to have him as part of the Calhoun City Schools’ team.”
Scoggins was appointed unanimously.
He is currently chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, a past treasurer for the Voluntary Action Center and Habitat for Humanity. He has served as Rotary Club president, according to information for the school district.
