Board accepts personnel report and extends superintendent contract through June 30, 2029

Following a closed‑session meeting July 29, the New Hanover County Board of Education accepted a personnel report and extended the superintendent’s contract with an effective end date of June 30, 2029. During closed session, trustees reviewed personnel recommendations and matters the board said were covered by attorney‑client privilege and student‑record confidentiality. After returning to open session, the board voted to accept the personnel report and to extend the superintendent’s contract through the 2028–29 school year. Board action on the personnel report was recorded as passing 6–0; the contract extension vote likewise passed 6–0. No personnel details were released in open session; the board chair said the votes followed closed‑session review and that additional public records — meeting minutes and contract documents — would be maintained under the district’s records procedures.
