Dorchester 02 board approves two middle-school principals and adds district Title I coordinator to org chart
Summary
At its May 29 called meeting the Dorchester 02 board approved personnel recommendations to hire principals at Alston Middle School and East Edisto Middle School and amended a motion to add a district Title I coordinator position to the organizational chart; the coordinator position is fully funded by Title I funds.
The Dorchester 02 board approved three personnel actions May 29: the recommended principals for Alston Middle School and East Edisto Middle School, and the addition of a district Title I coordinator position to the organizational chart.
Superintendent Mister Doherty presented the personnel report, which listed three items: principal appointments for Alston Middle School and East Edisto Middle School and a Title I coordinator position the superintendent said would be fully funded by Title I funds. Board members discussed whether the Title I coordinator should be added to the organizational chart and whether a separate vote to create the position was needed.
After discussion, Miss King moved to approve the personnel recommendations and to add the district Title I coordinator role to the new organizational chart; Mister Farnsworth seconded the amended motion. The board voted six in favor, one absent; the motion carried.
One board member explicitly asked whether the coordinator role existed on the current org chart and whether a separate vote would be required to create it. The group resolved the question by amending the original motion to include adding the role to the organizational chart before the vote.
The meeting record shows the board approved the recommended principal appointments and the Title I coordinator addition; the transcript records the coordinator as funded fully by Title I funds. The board did not discuss names for the hires in the public record at this meeting, nor did it enter executive session to discuss personnel details.
