Board approves personnel actions and extends superintendent contract after executive session
Summary
After an executive session, the Carroll County Board of Education approved personnel actions presented by the superintendent and voted to extend Superintendent Scott Cowart’s contract for the next school year; votes were unanimous as recorded in the meeting.
Following an executive session at a May special meeting, the Carroll County Board of Education approved personnel actions presented by Superintendent Scott Cowart and voted to extend Cowart’s contract for the next school year.
Board Chair Miller moved the board into executive session to discuss "future acquisition of real estate, safety and security, personnel, pending or threatened litigation, and recommendations that are exempt from disclosure under the Open Records Act," and the board voted to enter closed session. After reconvening in open session, a board member moved to approve the personnel actions as presented by the superintendent; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous vote.
Later in the meeting a board member stated, "I'd like to recommend that we extend Mr. Cowart's contract for the next school year." The motion received a second, the board voted by voice and raised hands, and the motion carried.
The meeting transcript does not record roll-call vote names for these actions; the chair announced the motions and the outcomes. No additional details about the personnel actions or specific contract terms (length, salary, or effective date) were disclosed in open session.
