Escambia County School Board adopts agenda, approves personnel and operations items in unanimous votes

Escambia County School Board members unanimously adopted the meeting agenda and approved a series of personnel, educational support and operations items during a special meeting on Jan. 31, the board chair announced.

The board approved adoption of the agenda (vote 5-0) and then took single votes on bundled items in three sections: human resources — instructional and professional; human resources — educational support; and operations. Each bundled motion passed by a 5-0 vote.

The instructional and professional human-resources package covered appointments, out-of-field assignments, resignations and leaves of absence; the educational-support package covered hiring and personnel matters for support staff; the operations package covered three operations items listed on the agenda. Board members did not request separate votes on the individual subitems during the meeting.

Board Chair (unnamed) called for the votes and recorded the tallies. The meeting record shows no amendments to the motions and no recorded recusals.
