Six fresh faces and one incumbent took the oath of office Thursday morning to begin their four-year terms as members of the State Board of Education.

Along with the other eight original board members, incumbent Janet Cannon of Holladay, District 8, plans to show the new people the ropes. Cannon is serving her fourth term.

New members are Shelly Locke, North Logan, District 1; Leslie Brooks Castle, Salt Lake City, District 7; Carol Murphy, Midway, District 12; Dave Thomas, South Weber, District 4; and Dave Crandall, Draper, District 11.

Mark Openshaw, Provo, of District 13, is replacing Kyle Bateman, who won the election in November but resigned due to residency issues.
