At the January meeting the Oconee County Board of Education recorded three formal votes.
- Approval of minutes from the Dec. 9 school board meeting: The board moved and seconded the motion to approve the minutes and voted unanimously. The motion passed with a recorded outcome of 5-0.
- Local board-approved course: Frontier History: The board considered a proposal to reinstate Frontier History as a local board-approved high school elective designed to increase student participation in social studies and better prepare students for U.S. history. All three district high schools were listed as interested in offering the course. The board moved, seconded and approved the course 5-0.
- Policy DM, Cash in School Buildings: The board approved revised language clarifying deposit thresholds and deposit frequency for cash collected in schools. The policy raises a weekly banking threshold from $500 to $1,000 (as stated in the meeting packet) and allows schools to secure lesser amounts in a locked vault rather than immediately depositing to a night depository. Board members moved, seconded and approved the policy 5-0.
All three motions passed unanimously; the meeting record did not name individual movers or seconders for these items.
