Columbia’s three newly-elected school board members have been sworn-in.

April Ferrao, Paul Harper and John Lyman were sworn-in during Monday evening’s board reorganization meeting. The three challengers were all backed by Columbia’s local NEA teachers union. Three outgoing Columbia Public Schools (CPS) board members were also recognized by CPS superintendent Dr. Brian Yearwood. They are David Seamon, Christopher Horn and Helen Wade.

Under the plan that’s been approved, the district will continue to pay 100 percent of the cost of medical, dental and life insurance for full-time employees.
