Forsyth County Board proclaims Black History Month; approves personnel and consent agenda
Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Forsyth County Board of Education unanimously adopted a Black History Month proclamation and approved personnel items and the consent agenda, board members said.
Forsyth County Board of Education members unanimously adopted a proclamation declaring February 2025 Black History Month and approved personnel actions and the consent agenda at the board’s Feb. 18 regular meeting.
The Board voted to adopt the proclamation after Chairman Valdez read the text recognizing the contributions of Black Americans and noting that 4.42% of Forsyth County School students are Black or African American. The adoption was recorded as “Motion by Mr. Usherwood, a second by Mr. McCall. All in favor? Unanimous.”
The board also voted to approve personnel items listed in three groups the chair read aloud as “A, 1 through 4; B, 1 through 5; C, 1 through 13.” A motion to approve those personnel items passed by voice vote with no roll-call names recorded for mover or seconder on the transcript; the chair indicated the vote was unanimous.
Earlier in the meeting the Board voted to exit an executive session and then, later in the agenda, members adopted the consent agenda. The consent agenda motion was recorded as made by Mr. Grimes and seconded by Mrs. Hoyes; the chair called the vote unanimous. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn moved by Mrs. Hoyes, seconded by Mr. Grimes, and carried unanimously.
No board action on policy changes was recorded during these votes; the personnel approvals and consent agenda items were taken as presented in the board packet.
