Long-time Phelps, Ky., area Board Member Frank McGuire has been selected to serve as chairman of the Pike County Board of Education and Pike Central area Board Member Earl Thacker has been chosen vice-chairman for 2011.

McGuire has served on the Board since January of 2000 and Thacker has been a board member since 2005. The men were elected by their fellow board members after returning members Virgil Osborne (Shelby Valley area), Dr. Chuck Johnson (Belfry area), and Frank Ratliff (East Ridge area) were sworn into office at a special called meeting January 4.

Meeting times for the year were set for the same dates and times, the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 p.m., with the exceptions of April and May, which were set for the fourth Tuesday because of spring break in April and Election Day in May.
