    At the end of a grueling meeting, the Beaufort County Board of Education elected Mac Hodges to be its new chairman and Cindy Winstead to replace Hodges as vice chair. The chairmanship was vacated by Robert Belcher's resignation as chair, but not from the board. Click here to review the earlier story on his resignation. That story has a link to a copy of Belcher's resignation letter saying that he was resigning in protest of the board's not agreeing to sue the County for more money.

    It was a very strange proceeding, as you will see in the video below. Rather than try to interpret what happened, we'll solicit comments from our readers to see if you can tell us what happened and why.



    We'll have more from the meeting in subsequent installments.
