King George County School Board elects Kathy Hoover chair, names Colleen Davis vice chair; approves calendar and appointments

Kathy Hoover was elected chair of the King George County School Board for 2025, and Colleen Davis was elected vice chair, the board voted during its organizational meeting.

The elections set the board’s leadership for the year; members also appointed delegates to the Virginia School Boards Association, named representatives to regional Governor’s School programs and other committees, approved a revised annual meeting calendar and confirmed administrative designees and agents.

Board members nominated Hoover and Davis from the floor and closed nominations by roll call before voting. With no recorded opposing votes, the board approved both leadership posts.

The board appointed Hoover as the board’s Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) delegate and Davis as the alternate. Members also made nominations and approved representatives for regional Governor’s School programs: Colleen Davis for the Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School and Carrie Cleveland for the Commonwealth Governor’s School; the board also approved continuing representation for the ATI pool. Committee assignments were confirmed without formal motions for each assignment; the board listed Title I, Health Advisory, CTE Advisory, Special Education, Gifted and Talented Advisory, Technology Advisory and a newly created Library Materials Review Committee among the standing or ad hoc assignments.

The board discussed its annual calendar and agreed to move a budget-related meeting originally on Feb. 24 to March 3. Members approved the calendar “as amended.” The board also voted to change its regular start time from 6 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and set a target adjournment time of 9 p.m., while agreeing that the body may vote to extend a meeting when necessary.

Administrative appointments confirmed by the board included Erin Scauff as clerk and Jesse Boyd as deputy clerk; Sherry Williams was named agent and Jesse Boyd deputy agent; and Dr. Troy Wright was approved as the superintendent’s designee.

The meeting concluded after the board approved a motion to adjourn. The board will convene future regular meetings at 5:30 p.m., with the next calendar to reflect the approved changes.
