The Pittsylvania County School Board on June 10 approved a set of personnel and disciplinary actions including an expulsion with continuing‑education offer, a release from compulsory attendance for one student, the termination of a classified employee, approval of routine personnel changes and waivers to permit two employees to retire under the district’s early‑retirement incentive.

During the meeting the board recorded roll calls for multiple motions. The board moved to expel a student while offering continuing‑education services through laptop access and the Regional Alternative School to permit completion of graduation requirements; that motion passed by roll call. The board also approved a release from compulsory attendance for one student and approved termination of a classified employee; each action was approved by roll call. The board approved a personnel changes list for June 10, 2025 and a waiver to board policy GBO‑PC permitting two employees to retire under the early‑retirement incentive program: Sherry Dudley, effective July 31, 2025, and Robin Yates, effective Dec. 31, 2025.

Superintendent Dr. Mayhew and human resources staff presented the personnel recommendations; specific personnel details were announced by staff and voted on by the board. Board members discussed the motions briefly during roll call sequences and approved each item in turn. The motions were recorded as board actions and placed in the meeting minutes.

Separately, the board accepted the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Kenneth Bennett as athletic director for Dan River High School and Dan River Middle School. Bennett’s background was presented to the board: two years most recently as an athletic director at an identified school (transcript: "BY"), prior experience as an athletic director at "Pecosin High School," and prior teaching roles; he holds an associate degree from Hampton Community College, a bachelor’s in physical education from Old Dominion University and a master’s in curriculum and instruction from Virginia Commonwealth University. The board moved and approved Bennett’s appointment; the candidate was present at the meeting.

Board members directed staff to place the approved personnel items in the official personnel records and to provide follow‑up documentation per normal human resources procedures.
