Carla White will be the new principal at Clanton Middle School, following approval Tuesday by the Chilton County Board of Education.

White was assistant principal at CMS prior to working as principal at Verbena for one year.

She replaces Kelvin Boulware, who was principal at CMS for one year.

White’s transfer was among several personnel decisions approved by the Board at a regular meeting Tuesday.

All Board members were present for the meeting.

Other administrative personnel moves included approval of Rosalyn Dixon as assistant principal at Chilton County High School and Meghan Owens as assistant principal at Jemison Elementary School.

No principal has been hired at JES following Louise Pitts’ transfer to Clanton Intermediate School, and Board member Pam Price said she did not think an assistant principal should be hired before a principal was in place.

“I don’t have anything against this person; I just don’t think it’s fair,” Price said.
