April Brockhoff is the new chairperson of the Covington Board of Education. During a special board meeting last week, the board voted 5-0 for Mrs. Brockhoff to lead the group. The board also selected board member, Tom Wherry, to serve as vice chair.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to be Board Chair for the next year,'' Mrs. Brockhoff said.
