The Worcester County Board of Education on Feb. 11 approved the meeting agenda, voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel and negotiations under state law, and approved a personnel exhibit containing one hire and one separation.
At the start of the meeting the board clerk conducted roll call and the board confirmed a quorum. The board voted to approve the budget work session agenda for Feb. 11; the board recorded the motion as moved by Donald Smack and seconded by William Buchanan and the chair called the voice vote: "Aye."

The personnel exhibit motion was moved by Elena McComas and seconded by Dr. Ennis; the chair called for voice vote and the motion carried.
The meeting ended with the board adjourning by voice vote. Throughout the procedural votes the board recorded unanimous "Aye" responses when the chair called for votes; seven members had been marked present at roll call, providing a quorum.
Ending: The board announced its next regular meeting for Feb. 18 at the Board of Education Center and adjourned; no additional personnel actions were taken in open session.
