Coffee County board approves director contract with start-date change and expense deletions
Summary
The Coffee County Board of Education approved the director contract as revised—removing a residency requirement, setting a May 31 start date and striking two expense items—after a brief discussion and an 8-0 vote.
The Coffee County Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a revised contract for the incoming director of schools, adopting a May 31 start date and removing two expense provisions from the agreement.
Doctor Charles Powell, director of schools, presented the item and told the board the changes were limited. “Those are the only changes from the contract form that we approved last month,” Powell said, explaining the residency requirement had been removed and the start date adjusted so the director would have insurance coverage.
Board members discussed two expense lines in the contract — a moving allowance “not to exceed $10,000” and temporary housing — and agreed they were moot because the director will not be relocating. The board voted to strike the first two expense items under the contract’s expenses section and then approved the contract as amended.
The vote was 8-0. Board members also noted they would finalize signatures after the meeting.
The contract approval changes are procedural and the board said they do not affect the contract’s total payout. No additional policy or ordinance was cited during the discussion.
The board’s action concludes the formal approval step; the superintendent said the parties will sign the revised agreement after the meeting.
