The Harrison County Schools Board convened on September 16, 2025, to discuss key personnel matters and address community concerns regarding school operations. The meeting included a motion to return to executive session, followed by a separation of personnel items for further discussion.

One significant topic was the decision to table the appointment of a new softball coach for Bridgeport High School, with plans to revisit the matter at the next meeting. This decision reflects the board's careful approach to personnel changes, ensuring thorough consideration before finalizing appointments.

The board also approved the regular personnel agenda, with one member recusing themselves from the vote. This approval indicates the board's commitment to maintaining a structured and transparent process in personnel decisions.

During the meeting, board member Dr. Singer addressed community concerns, emphasizing the board's dedication to all students across the district. She expressed her commitment to due diligence in decision-making, particularly regarding the future of two school buildings, Northview and Highfield. Dr. Singer defended the board against claims of favoritism towards specific communities, asserting that the board prioritizes the welfare of all students and staff.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the board's primary responsibilities: policy-making, financial oversight, and the employment of the superintendent. The board's focus on these core duties underscores its commitment to effective governance.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's careful approach to personnel matters and its dedication to serving the entire Harrison County community. The next meeting will provide further clarity on the softball coach position and ongoing discussions about school facilities.
