Dorothy DeShields

The New Hanover County School Board welcomed its newest member Tuesday night. With her family by her side, Elizabeth Redenbaugh was sworn in as New Hanover County's newest school board member.

On November 4th, you will see six names on the ballot for New Hanover County Board of Education. While David Martin is no longer running, there are incumbents Dorothy DeShields and Jeanette Nichols, as well as three challengers who want their seats.

What was supposed to be a routine school board meeting turned quite eventful Tuesday night. Before Tuesday there were three options on the table, but two were taken out of the equation Tuesday night.
