Rowan County Board of Education authorizes superintendent to sign NDA on Old Mill School talks; declines grievance appeal
Summary
After closed session, the Rowan County Board of Education authorized the superintendent to sign a non‑disclosure agreement for discussions about the surplus Old Mill School property and voted to decline a grievance appeal as outside the board's review authority.
The Rowan County Board of Education, meeting after a closed session, voted to authorize the superintendent of Rowan County Schools to sign a non‑disclosure agreement related to potential transactions involving the surplus Old Mill School property and later voted to decline a grievance appeal, saying the appeal concerned day‑to‑day operations outside the board's scope.
Board members returned from closed session and moved directly to business arising from that meeting. The board approved a motion authorizing the superintendent to sign a non‑disclosure agreement on behalf of the Rowan County Board of Education "regarding discussions and potential transactions related to the surplus Old Mill School property as deemed necessary for the protection of the board's interest." The motion was made by Brad and seconded by Megan; the presiding members called for a vote and the motion passed.
The board then considered a separate motion to decline to hear a grievance appeal. The motion stated the grievance pertained to the district's day‑to‑day operations rather than issues the board is authorized to review. A member moved the motion (recorded in the transcript as from "Bridal"), another member seconded (recorded as "Brenda"), and the board voted to approve the motion.
Both votes were recorded in the meeting as passing by voice vote; the transcript notes "All in favor, say aye" followed by "Aye," with no roll‑call tally or recorded dissent shown in the transcript. The meeting concluded shortly after those items when members moved to adjourn.
The motions do not specify further steps or timelines for negotiation of the Old Mill School property nor provide details of the grievance's substance; the board limited its action on the grievance to declining to hear the appeal on the stated jurisdictional ground.
No additional documents, statutory citations, or staff reports were referenced in the transcript provided.
