The Fort Payne City Council unanimously selected former police chief Randy Bynum to fill a school board vacancy at Tuesdayâs regular meeting.
Bynum will replace outgoing school board vice-president Kathy Prater and serve a term expiring in June 2026. The Council interviewed Bynum and fellow applicants Randy McClung, Dana Grimes, Jamie Larson, Slade Carden, Steve Henry, Ronnie Campbell and Gina Kelly Grant.
Council member Lynn Brewer expressed a hope that Bynumâs law enforcement experience and familiarity with local issues will enhance safety in city schools. Council President Walter Watson said the difficult part is only being able to select one person when there are so many quality people volunteering to serve.
