Board honors retiring staff; later approves personnel agenda after closed session
Summary
The board recognized multiple retirees for service to Clark County Public Schools and, following a closed session citing the Code of Virginia, reconvened and approved a personnel agenda including appointments and resignations.
The Clark County School Board on May 19 recognized a group of employees who are retiring at the end of the school year and later convened a closed session to discuss personnel matters before approving a personnel agenda on return from closed session.
The board read and acknowledged several retirees and their service histories. Among those honored were Jimmy Ashby (crossing guard, custodian, and later instructional assistant), Lisa Nick (ESL teacher and reading specialist), Donna Michael (licensed nurse and reading specialist), Rochelle "Shelly" Miller (nurse), Brenda Bennett (finance director; noted for managing CARES, ARPA and ESSER funds), and Randy Trenary (director of operations, responsible for transportation, facilities and operations oversight). Speakers thanked each retiree for years of service and noted individual career highlights cited during the recognition.
Later in the meeting the board moved to convene a closed session “to discuss personnel matters, including appointments, resignations, and retirement pursuant to Code of Virginia 2.2‑3711(A)(1) and legal advice on a specific legal matter pursuant to Code of Virginia 2.2‑3711(A)(8).” The motion indicated an estimated closed‑session time of 60 minutes and anticipated action.
After returning from closed session and completing a required certification, the board approved the personnel agenda as presented. The transcript records a motion to approve the personnel agenda and a subsequent voice vote approving it; the transcript does not include a roll‑call tally or identify individual votes by name.
The board’s recognition of retirees and the personnel approvals conclude the items recorded in the meeting’s personnel sequence.
