Board ratifies administrative leave for staff member and rescinds earlier board action in separate personnel matter
Summary
Following an executive session May 6, 2025, the Cabell County Board of Education ratified a paid administrative leave for Matthew Pritchard that began March 18, 2025, and approved rescinding a February board action concerning Anna Meisner.
The Cabell County Board of Education, after an executive session at its May 6, 2025 meeting, ratified an administrative-leave action for a professional employee and rescinded a prior board action in a separate personnel matter.
Superintendent Tim Hardesty recommended the board ratify the administrative leave of Matthew Pritchard with pay effective March 18, 2025, and continuing until a resolution is reached. The board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Separately, the board voted to rescind board action taken Feb. 18, 2025, regarding Anna Meisner; the motion to rescind was approved without recorded opposition. Two other administrative-leave items originally listed on the agenda (items 6.03 and 6.05) were removed before the meeting because the matters had been resolved.
Board members moved into executive session for personnel discussion before returning to open session and taking the ratification and rescission votes. The board did not disclose investigative or personnel details beyond the motions and their outcomes during the open meeting.
No further disciplinary or personnel details were revealed in the public session; board action recorded only the ratification of the leave with pay, the rescission of the prior board action related to Meisner, and the removal of two administrative-leave items from the agenda because they were resolved.
