Larry Caudill appointed to Haywood Community College board; brief dispute over ballot handling
Summary
The Haywood County Board of Commissioners appointed Larry Caudill to the Haywood Community College Board of Trustees for a four-year term beginning July 1, 2025. A commissioner questioned the ballot-counting process and said that traditionally the county attorney handles tabulation; commissioners proceeded and announced the appointment.
The Haywood County Board of Commissioners voted to appoint Larry Caudill to the Haywood Community College Board of Trustees for a full four-year term beginning July 1, 2025.
Board members said there were three applicants for the position and that the appointment will replace Lee Davis, who completed a prior four-year term. After ballots were cast, one commissioner raised a procedural objection saying the county attorney traditionally handles ballot circulation and counting; the clerk proceeded with tabulation and commissioners announced the appointment of Larry Caudill.
Why it matters: board appointments to the community college trusteeship place local representatives on the college's governing body, which participates in oversight and local funding conversations. The appointee will serve a term beginning July 1, 2025.
Next steps: the appointee's term begins July 1, 2025 and the county clerk will notify Haywood Community College of the board's action.
