COLUMBIA – The Richland School District Two Board of Trustees elected new officers Tuesday night, with the majority four voting as a block to seat three of their own.
James Manning was elected chair; Amelia McKie, vice-chair and former chair Teresa Holmes, secretary.
Board member Lindsay Agostini voted against McKie and abstained from voting for Manning and Holmes.
“Because of her continued ethics violations, I could not vote for Ms. McKie,” Agostini told The Voice.
Board member Dr. Monica Elkins Scott voted “No” for all three candidates, and LaShonda McFarland voted “Yes” for all three.
The three officers will serve four year terms. All three and Cheryl Caution-Parker are up for re-election in November.
