Newton County Board approves personnel items from work session and appoints new chief of staff
Summary
At the September business meeting the board approved items 13a–d and 13e (personnel matters reviewed in executive session), and confirmed a new chief of staff; two director hires were approved at the prior Sept. 9 work session.
The Newton County Board of Education voted to approve agenda items 13a through 13d and to approve personnel matters presented in item 13e, all of which had been reviewed at the board’s Sept. 9 work session.
Board member Trey Bailey moved to approve items 13a–d “as presented last week,” and Eddie Johnson seconded. The chair called the vote and the transcript records the motion as approved (voice vote: “Aye”). For item 13e, the record shows Anderson Bailey moved approval, Trey Bailey seconded, and the board recorded the motion as approved (voice vote: “Aye”). The transcript does not show any recorded no votes, abstentions or roll-call tallies for these motions.
The board’s meeting also acknowledged several recent personnel approvals. The transcript states that at the Sept. 9 work session the board approved Dr. Ajama Johnson as district director of Title I and Dr. Hope Barr as director of teaching and learning. During the business meeting the board approved Ben Rountree as the district’s newly appointed chief of staff.
Superintendent Doctor Bradley noted that the items presented that evening had been discussed at the recent work session and that there were no superintendent reports because the materials had been reviewed at that prior session. The meeting record shows a brief announcement about a district “Parent Connect Live” event and recognition of newly hired administrators; no additional policy debate or motions tied to those hires appear in the transcript.
Decisions recorded: approval of items 13a–d (motion by Trey Bailey, second by Eddie Johnson; outcome recorded as "Aye") and approval of item 13e (mover Anderson Bailey, second Trey Bailey; outcome recorded as "Aye"). Ben Rountree’s appointment as chief of staff was recorded as approved in the meeting.
The transcript indicates these approvals were routine board business presented after review at a work session; it does not show accompanying amendments, dissent, or detailed vote tallies on the record.
