The vote followed a motion by Councilman Saunders, seconded by Councilman Vogler, and a roll call in which council members answered in the affirmative. Before the roll call was completed, Dr. Harrison received praise from council members for improvements in school accreditation and student outcomes.
Dr. Harrison and the school board were singled out by Reverend Campbell: “Before I cast my vote, I'd just like to say to Doctor. Harrison and staff, we are very impressed from last year this time and to see where we are now to see the increase of accreditation of schools and the future is looking very bright.” The council’s remarks stressed continued support and encouraged community introductions for building connections between principals and residents ahead of the school year.
