The Union Grove Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on Jan. 12 to hire Dr. Greg Bower as the district's superintendent and approved a contract for his employment.

Motion carried," the minutes record. Voting YES were Jody Day, Justin Smith, Michael Potter, Tim Turner, Karey Barbee and Brian Cox; Kelly Chambliss abstained.
The motion concluded the personnel portion of the meeting; no effective start date or contract terms beyond approval were specified in the minutes.
