School Board Member Mike Chapman Will Not Seek Another Term Mike Chapman, who began his tenure in 2002, said he is proud of the many accomplishments achieved by the CCSD during his service. He was elected four times by his fellow board members to serve as chairman and five times to serve as vice chairman. The many educational initiatives implemented due to Chapman’s advocacy include the nationally recognized Cherokee Academies program, developed in response to his call for more educational school choice in our community. The school district’s STEM and Fine Arts Academies provided a model for school districts nationwide and earned state and national recognition. A champion for fiscal conservatism and transparency, Chapman supported the development of the Open CCSD webpage, which provides a one-stop shop for the public to access financial and accountability records.
