DANVILLE, Va. – The Danville School Board voted unanimously Thursday to elect Keisha Averett as an interim board member, following Renee Hughes’ resignation in November.

Averett was chosen after an application and interview process. She is a Danville native and works as a youth career coach for ROSS Innovative Employment Solutions at Virginia Career Works West Piedmont-Danville.

Board Chair Crystal Cobbs said she is looking forward to welcoming a new member to the board. “We are excited to work with her and continue this important work for Danville Public Schools,” Cobbs said.

Averett will serve as interim board member until a special election can be held in November to fill the seat for the remainder of the unexpired term.
