Hoover school board appointment expected Monday night

The Hoover City Council on Monday night is expected to appoint a new school board member to replace school board President Derrick Murphy, whose five-year term is over at the end of May.

The council interviewed seven applicants for the school board seat on April 8, asking how they would deal with school board budget deficits, what they think about building a third high school and more.

See highlights from the interviews here and more information about each applicant here.

Monday night’s meeting of the Hoover City Council is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the William J. Billingsley Council Chambers at the Hoover Municipal Center at 100 Municipal Lane.
