Angelucci Voted Cobb School Board Chairwoman

The board also approved its 2014 meeting schedule on Tuesday.

The Cobb Board of Education on Tuesday elected Kathleen Angelucci to serve as its chairwoman for the 2014 calendar year. 

Randy Scamihorn, who was the chairman last year, was voted vice chairman in an organizational meeting Tuesday. 

Angelucci is a Republican who represents Northeast Cobb in Post 4, and specifically the Kell and Sprayberry high school clusters. 

She is entering the final year of her first term in office. 

"I want to thank my colleagues for the vote of confidence," Angelucci said. 

Second-year board member Brad Wheeler, who was vice chairman last year, also was nominated for chairman but failed to get a majority of the votes. 

Board policy requires new officers to be selected in January of each year. Those who serve as chairman or chairwoman cannot serve in successive years.

The board also approved its 2014 official meeting schedule. There is the possibility of executive sessions being called before and during meetings. Each meeting will include a public-comment period of up to 30 minutes:
