The youngest Danville School Board member ever elected is the board’s new chair. Last night the School Board elected Ty’Quan Graves as their new chair and Tyrell Payne as their new vice chair.

They will serve in these capacities for the next year. Graves has served on the school board since 2018 and served as vice chair since 2020.  Payne has served on the school board since 2020. Each was chosen to serve in their capacities in a majority vote.

In November, Graves, Keisha Averett, and Dr. Keith Silverman were elected to serve on the school board for a four-year term, beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2026. Thursday evening was the first meeting of their terms.
