Pam Nutt will being her seventh term in January of 2021 after winning with 65 precent of the vote, while Holly Carter Cobb, the board’s current vice chair, garnered 60 percent in her race and won the right to serve a second term.
Current school board chair Josh Hinton was the leading vote-getter in his race against three challengers, with 45 percent of votes cast, and is now in a runoff against Makenzie McDaniel, who got 23 percent.
