Summary
The Paulding County Board of Education adopted resolutions recognizing Tom Cable as the 2025 Paulding County Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year and honoring the late longtime board member Kim Curl, drawing tributes from current board members.
The Paulding County Board of Education on March 24 adopted two ceremonial resolutions: one honoring Tom Cable as the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce 2025 Citizen of the Year and a second memorializing the life and public service of the late board member Kim Curl.
A board member read Resolution 26‑01 congratulating Tom Cable for decades of legal counsel to public entities, including the school district, and commending his public service. The board adopted the resolution unanimously.
Later in the meeting board members delivered extended tributes to Kim Curl, recalling his more than 20 years of service on the school board, his leadership through superintendent searches and his community ties in Dallas, Georgia. The board adopted Resolution 26‑02 unanimously to honor his life and legacy.
Why it matters: both actions are ceremonial but offer a public record of the district’s recognition of long‑time contributors to local public education and civic life.
What was said: board members described Cable and Curl as mentors and steady advisors who helped guide district governance. The board noted Cable’s long tenure as board attorney and Curl’s time as a chairman and community volunteer.
What’s next: the resolutions were adopted as read; no further district action was required for these ceremonial recognitions.
