During the Caldwell County school board meeting Monday night, the board approved the use of the Butler gym as the county’s vote center and recognized more than 30 students for their recent achievements.
As previously reported from the Caldwell County Fiscal Court meeting last week, County Clerk Jennifer Hale announced that the vote center would be moved to the Butler Gymnasium for the May Primary Election due to a prior commitment at the Southside Baptist Life Center. At Monday night’s meeting, Superintendent Jeremy Roach shared his discussion with Hale about the use of the Butler gym as the centralized vote center.
