Dan Pearman chosen 11-9 by Claiborne County commission to fill 6th district school board vacancy
Summary
The Claiborne County Commission appointed Dan Pearman to the vacant 6th-district school board seat by roll-call vote (11 for, 9 for Justin Cosby). The appointee serves until the next general election; the chairman read a letter of recommendation from the former board member.
The Claiborne County Commission selected Dan Pearman to fill the vacant 6th District seat on the Claiborne County Board of Education at its Nov. 20 meeting. Nominations opened during new business: Commissioner Steve Brogan nominated Dan Pearman and Commissioner Zachary Bunch nominated Justin Cosby. Chairman Mike Campbell read a letter of recommendation from former school board member Shannon England.
Following nominations, the commission voted by roll call. The vote count recorded in the minutes was 11 for Pearman and 9 for Cosby. The minutes list the commissioners who voted for each candidate by name; the chair announced Dan Pearman as the appointee to serve until the next general election.
The appointment fills a local school-board vacancy and carries through the election cycle; the minutes do not record a candidate debate beyond the nomination and vote. The chair noted the commission would fill the position until the next general election, consistent with standard interim appointment practice.
Next steps: Dan Pearman will serve on the Board of Education until the next general election and take the board oath and seat per board procedures.
