As the Henry County Board of Education joins the county's Board of Commissioners in its redistricting proposal, one school board member is not pleased.
District IV's Erik Charles remains the lone dissenting voice on the five-member school board, opposing the boards' collective 2011 Redistricting Plan. He is the only minority member of the school board.
