A new member was installed and new officers were elected Thursday during a special meeting of the Kingfisher Board of Education. Terry Payne took the oath of office in his first meeting after winning an election earlier this month over incumbent Mike Copeland. After his installation, Dana Golbek was selected as the new president of the board, Jim Perdue was tabbed vice president and Payne will serve as the clerk. Pictured after the reorganization are: seated from left, Perdue, Golbek and Charles Walker; and standing, Carly Franks and Payne. Once those moves were made, the board immediately went into executive session, during which it interviewed three candidates for the district’s open superintendent position. After more than four hours in executive session, the board returned to open session and voted unanimously to hire Taylor Cooper as the new high school girls basketball coach (See story on Page 2) and Michelle Conner as the new middle school/junior high secretary. Board members have called for another special meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, and could approve the hire of a new superintendent as early as then. The agenda posted Friday calls for an executive session and includes an action item for “discussion/possible action to employ a superintendent.” [Photo by KHS Photography]
