The shift came amid a meeting in Low Moor to reorganize for the 2024-25 fiscal year as they wrapped up the recently ended 2023-24 year.

Littleton will replace Jacob Wright, who has led the Alleghany Highlands School Board since its formation in July 2024. Additionally, Wright also served as chair of the former Alleghany County Public School Board prior to its merger with Covington City Public School.

Franson worked on the School Joint Services Committee to develop the consolidation plan.
