Clovis board swears in officers

The Clovis Municipal School board got some new people in charge Tuesday with the annual change of officers.

In one of the first items of business at their regular session, board members elected Terry Martin as President, Cindy Osburn as Vice President and Sharon Epps as Secretary.

“We rotate to allow everyone a chance to lead. It’s the same as it’s always been,” Martin said after the meeting..

The officials serve a term of one year.

“I’m glad the community puts their faith and trust in us,” Martin said.

Shawn Hamilton was elected by the board to be president one year ago.

“I enjoyed doing it. I’m very confident that Mr. Martin will do a good job in the future,” Hamilton said.

A number of routine operational matters were handled by the board at Tuesday’s session.

Deputy Superintendent of Employee Services Joe Strickland noted what he called “three successful” recent hiring events coordinated by Executive Director of Talent Management and Development Mandy Carpenter.

Strickland told the board CMS hired 92 new employees over the three events.

The school board’s next meeting is scheduled for July 25.
