The board later returned to open session and approved personnel contracts.

The presiding officer said the matters fell under North Carolina General Statutes (cited in the meeting) sections addressing attorney-client privilege and confidential personnel matters and named a pending case by caption for attorney-client discussion. A motion to enter closed session passed by voice vote; the board recessed into closed session and later reconvened in open session.

After the closed session the board took action in open session. The board made a motion to approve personnel contracts, the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the vote as \"Aye\" without a roll-call tally. No contract amounts or individual contract details were announced in the open session minutes.

Earlier in the meeting a board member, Philip Williams, requested and received board approval to be recused from discussion and votes on the personnel report, renewals, re-elections and administrator contracts because the matter involved his wife's employment and a potential financial conflict, citing board policy 2342 on voting methods and conflicts of interest. The board recorded Williams' recusal and voted to permit his excusal before later considering personnel items following closed session.

Because the closed-session discussion was conducted under the statutory exemptions cited by the board, no further confidential details were disclosed in the open-session record beyond the motion and vote to approve personnel contracts.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting — June 3, 2025 — 6 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Onslow County Board of Education met in closed session to consult with the board attorney and to consider confidential personnel matters under North Carolina statutes, and after returning to open session approved personnel contracts by voice vote.","taxTitle","Onslow County Schools, School Districts, North Carolina","taxId",14095,"location","North Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6214853,"Parent urges board to keep her child at Morton Elementary amid redistricting plan",205,2253000,2458000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a&start=2253&end=2458","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a/thumbnail_2253000.jpg","/articles/6214853/North-Carolina/Parent-urges-board-to-keep-her-child-at-Morton-Elementary-amid-redistricting-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214853-60e167deda615786d4b66dc887a02e5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142029&Signature=O5Vi~zUhRGWBNtY~9U27OXLd2v~OPtt7noFUUjZRPmXnRr3x2ZLbDMZzn42dYpSgxfRsnXItvIPVXTwqqnztUyFj0amC2UEO3lJSPFcc0IRD7~DpsElYS3IHJUzVKKL12AnhbCdw5wZCcJuRy2akmK2A1VAV5sJQtg~4ViMw6LCHtA3wso4wkWbbIiyKXnoQhqwFKXtkvfUi1~STCk0vI8itODNFaG40O5jvj6tfOJPvYrJ7apJsbd2QUkIJidtBHyhcr8KIG3CUIKCp5ZiwoCWQfr7jZpef7ADH8WNPLhcM56Xib2546-PApj31VxYzsupabvmQ1tST0m8Ojz6ADw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lindsey Jones told the Onslow County Board of Education during public comment that a confirmed elementary-school redistricting plan would move her second-grade daughter from Morton Elementary to Woodland Elementary and asked the board to let children who are \"thriving\" remain at their current school.

\"This action would move my daughter from Morton Elementary to Woodland Elementary,\" Jones said. She said her family depends on YMCA before- and after-school care at Wharton because both parents work full time and that Woodland is about a 20-minute drive compared with an eight-minute drive to Morton, creating a substantial commute burden that could affect her job at Camp Lejeune.

Jones said extracurricular sports and other activities that support her daughter's development would be disrupted by the longer commute and that families in her neighborhood share similar concerns. She cited the district's redistricting map posted on the Onslow County website and said Morton's projected utilization would shift under the new plan: \"The new realignment plan for Morton Elementary's enrollment would actually decrease from 102% to 77% according to the Woodland Elementary realignment map on the Onslow County website.\" She asked the board to consider allowing her daughter and other students in similar circumstances to remain at Morton.

Jones' remarks occurred during the public comment portion of the meeting; board policy on public participation was read aloud at the start of the comment period. The board did not take action during public comment; board members reserved responses for the board-member comment period at the meeting's conclusion, per policy.","During public comment a parent told the board a proposed redistricting plan would move her second-grade daughter from Morton Elementary to Woodland Elementary, raising concerns about commute time, before- and after-school care and impact on family routines.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6214859,"Board approves Title I plan; district to apply Community Eligibility Provision at three schools",533,3875000,4408000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a&start=3875&end=4408","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a/thumbnail_3875000.jpg","/articles/6214859/North-Carolina/Board-approves-Title-I-plan-district-to-apply-Community-Eligibility-Provision-at-three-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214859-912406ed4d3b83bbb8675e0793bc2b9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142029&Signature=UwgQ3Q5SGqDNavnaCepbQ3Gv2VmjH9OP9D8VdT3~sSAzYdvrnL4FRIdPG1Gg32rmX2TFQYNk30P~GDhT706wBG1umafiRjZYCpMp4za-JhJDs69MJB3su~79AobXeTxnMN-QW1rdIQRJhYdpY0RK64wNYIbLd2TsQHWtjyJFRWiXHoPrZKNYkgsCfSuGxJGz942h9cHpl2NxzX-V0dubXGkM-hR7j-MXAaHOFoUsvjhqeXMtrLtJLfbQJ5efaDqnDBoq76128wfM9mb48t3MlpozAnoZrfu2KXUW2LZ-RqrWkX5997HMtQ6ln-zwKNso80xRUcSqQqL~rGfby6jcDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Onslow County Board of Education approved the district's Title I plan for the 2025-26 school year following a presentation explaining how the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) affects school allocations and eligibility.

\"The community eligibility provision ... allows all students at participating schools to be served breakfast and lunch at no cost to the students or families,\" Dr. Boris said while introducing the plan, describing the USDA program that uses a formula based on categorical eligibility to determine reimbursement rates.

Dr. Boris (presenter) explained the district is applying to include Jacksonville Commons Elementary, Bell Fork Elementary and Blue Creek Elementary in CEP; Thompson Early Childhood Center remains in the program. He said those schools are projected to reach reimbursement rates at or near 100 percent and that CEP changes how economically disadvantaged percentages are calculated for Title I rank ordering.

The presentation noted practical consequences for Title I allocations: the district will still serve all elementary and all middle schools under the plan, but rank ordering and school allotments shift when CEP is applied. Dr. Boris said the district's planning budget figure is based on 90 percent of the estimated allotment and that the district expects to adjust school-level allocations once the official NCDPI allotment is received.

Presentation details in the board packet included a planning allotment of approximately $7,000,000 and direct school funding around $7.4 million; the packet also noted district set-asides for private school equitable services, parent and family engagement and supports for homeless, foster and English Learner students. The presenter said the district currently serves more than 900 English Learner students.

Board members asked procedural questions and the board approved the Title I plan by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript. The approval authorizes district staff to proceed with Title I allocations and to finalize school allotments after the state issues the formal allotment.

District staff will continue annual needs assessments at each school to determine how Title I funds are spent at the school level, focusing on remediation, tutors, instructional support, technology and personnel to strengthen instruction.","The Onslow County Board of Education approved the district Title I plan for 2025-26. Presenters described how the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) will add three schools and shift school-level funding allocations.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6214863,"Onslow BOE approves CTE local application, expands internship and credential programs",2765,1087000,3852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a&start=1087&end=3852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3663745-f324e786ad129d59a0ef0deebe525b7a/thumbnail_1087000.jpg","/articles/6214863/North-Carolina/Onslow-BOE-approves-CTE-local-application-expands-internship-and-credential-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214863-53d4ae37500a7d6f32c211d372ca6725/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142029&Signature=o70lIe0623mwPEb6QSQh5vFadXVVfDQc1D4vPsEBNZGFsd4EwOsuu1kPj2aXTq~qhGzM8jfrMMUIWI-DuiUfFZ2x~Pa8X6s2a14RUsg03hamUPuwgKbJCMvUI87CzX653hdOo9gJjcULh0DnIromw7qzB7div2eQrW~eECr0qJN-ZRWuaiH3acy6NQvFaD8UbAKtdB-BdKGzLS2q9iX3ZAX4BVDIcpDW9EUB5j0UX4hfwvdZL-sY2vSQPuXcVBRmI7kpDwAlT21i37PlrX8xoTEsiJH-fXyO86FbQkItgyRrnpCCkHguggfBnheGZRjDiZqPmZTA7QMoFXfKXhbkqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Onslow County Board of Education on a unanimous voice vote approved the district's Career and Technical Education (CTE) local application after a presentation from William Lane, the district's executive director of secondary services and director of career technical education.

Lane told the board the application is driven by a Perkins V-required comprehensive local needs assessment and aims to increase industry-recognized credentials, strengthen regional business and educational partnerships and expand work-based learning opportunities for students.

The plan outlines program growth and specific investments. \"As you can see, our career continuum has taken us years to put this together,\" Lane said, describing a K-12 framework that culminates in high-school career pathways and work-based learning. He highlighted planned new and returning programs, including an Advanced Manufacturing Academy at Northside High School, a new medical assisting course at the Eastern North Carolina Regional Skills Center, the return of masonry instruction at White Oak High School, and a Marine Corps JROTC program at Southwest High School.

Lane described operational and instructional improvements supported by the application: increased career and technical student organization (CTSO) adviser stipends from $500 to $1,000; installation and repairs of greenhouses and foods labs at multiple schools; new welding machines to allow aluminum welding; and a summer internship program that provides high-school credit, orientation, and on-site job coaching for participating students.

He also reported program outcomes and compliance results. \"As a direct result of their attention to detail and execution of the plan, I can proudly share OCS CTE is operating in 100% full compliance,\" Lane said, citing a recent North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) monitoring visit and local proof-of-learning validation. Lane noted 42 credentials had been earned in one course where students previously earned none.

The CTE presentation included student testimony. Carly Kincaid, a senior at Swansboro High School, described her path through biomedical and teaching-as-a-profession courses and credited CTE with providing field experiences and skills for college and career plans.

Board discussion before the vote was procedural; the motion to approve the CTE local application carried by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally provided in the minutes. The approval authorizes the district to implement the programs and expenditures set out in the Perkins V local application and to submit the application to required state authorities for funding and oversight.

Implementation will rely on continued engagement with regional employers, NCDPI oversight of Perkins funding and the district's ability to staff and equip the planned courses and work-based learning placements. The board did not attach amendments to the application at the meeting and no formal dissent was recorded.

The district director thanked local partners for donations and sponsorships that will fund a small number of paid internships; the Onslow County Home Builders Association was named as a sponsor for four paid construction internships.

Next steps include state review where required under Perkins V and local scheduling and procurement to deliver equipment and internships over the coming months.","The Onslow County Board of Education approved the district's Perkins V-based Career and Technical Education (CTE) local application after a presentation from William Lane outlining program growth, new courses and summer internship expansions.","actionData","errors"]
