School board hires attorney after heavy debate
The Tazewell County School Board voted 3-2 to hire Compton and Compton of Russell County as new school board counsel, despite objections from Dr. Ben Susman and Tom Witten, who urged a local attorney instead. Controversy also surfaced over five proposed by-law changes added as unscheduled items, with board members divided on communications and policy updates, and a first reading set for June 12.
