The school board meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of board members both in-person and via Zoom. Notably, Miss Brown participated remotely from Virginia Beach for personal reasons. Following a moment of silence, the Salem Elementary School 5th grade chorus, directed by Miss Beth Alsbaugh, performed the national anthem after the Pledge of Allegiance, receiving commendations for their performance.

The board then moved to adopt the agenda, with Miss Kendrick making the motion and Mister Cowan providing a second. Despite technical difficulties preventing Miss Brown from voting, the agenda was approved with ten votes in favor, while her absence was noted in the minutes.

Superintendent Doctor Robertson provided updates, highlighting the recent appearance of Princeton High School's marching band on the Today Show. The students, under the direction of John Boyd, showcased their talents at the premiere of Pharrell Williams' movie, contributing to its theme song. This event was described as a significant opportunity for the students, emphasizing the board's commitment to celebrating student achievements.
