Randolph County Board of Education approves agenda, minutes, $7,500 stipend and personnel actions

The Randolph County Board of Education on May 20, 2025, approved a series of routine items by voice vote, including the meeting agenda, minutes from April 17 and May 6, a $7,500 stipend to an assistant principal, and the personnel action sheet.

The board approved the agenda and minutes by voice vote at the start of the meeting. No roll-call tallies or individual names were recorded in the transcript for those motions; the chair announced, “Ayes have it,” after each voice vote.

The board approved a $7,500 payment to Ken Wiggins, assistant principal at Woodland Elementary School, to compensate him for meeting the requirements of the APLDS. The superintendent said that, “due to our funding formula, he was not eligible for reimbursement from the Alabama State Department of Education this school year.” The motion to pay Wiggins passed by voice vote; the transcript records only a board vocal affirmation and “Ayes have it.”

The board also approved the personnel action sheet as presented. The transcript records a motion and second and a voice vote; no individual vote names or counts were recorded in the meeting transcript.

The meeting concluded following those items and the superintendent’s informational report.
