At a meeting of the Beaufort 01 school board, members set January meeting dates, asked staff to prepare one-page executive summaries for several upcoming reports and approved the consent agenda by unanimous consent with no objections recorded in the transcript.
Board members agreed to a schedule of January work dates: a regular board meeting on Jan. 21 (agenda item mentioned), an agenda-setting meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 5 p.m., a joint School Improvement Council (SIC) meeting on Jan. 23 at 6 p.m. at Bluffton High and a work session on Jan. 31. The board also noted that public session would begin at 6 p.m. with an executive session at 4:30 p.m. for the meeting referenced during the discussion.
The board asked staff to provide one-page executive summaries for several items to streamline future review. The superintendent confirmed that a one-page executive summary format is intended for board meetings and that the professional learning community (PLC) presentation will come with an executive summary. Board members specifically requested similar one-page summaries for the personnel ratification report and the homeschool report to allow faster consideration.
Devonte Singleton was identified as the scheduled presenter for the Riverview Charter School annual report; the board added that report to the board business action items. Members also discussed a possible addition to a future agenda: a state program described in the meeting as “strategic compensation,” a performance-based compensation option for school-based personnel. The board did not add that item at the meeting and reserved the right to add it to the agenda later once details are confirmed.
On routine business, the board moved the consent agenda by unanimous consent. The transcript records that the board chair (referred to in the record) called for unanimous consent and no objections were voiced; no roll-call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the transcript.
Next steps noted in the meeting record include circulating the joint SIC meeting information to schools and confirming Bluffton High’s availability for the Jan. 23 meeting. Staff were asked to produce the one-page executive summaries and circulate meeting notices to stakeholders.
