Board approves consent agenda including interim superintendent selection, budget amendments and right-of-way donation to DOT

The Anson County Board of Education approved its consent agenda at the meeting by voice vote; the transcript records one member opposed. The consent agenda included personnel reports, a resolution to verify credentials and select Brian C. Ratliff as interim superintendent, interim budget and year-end budget amendments, a new CTE plan, a Morven Head Start lease agreement, grounds and lawn maintenance services contract, a right-of-way donation to the Department of Transportation, participation in Vector Solutions, and a three-year extension of the board attorney’s contract.

The board chair called for a motion and a second; after brief questions about certain certification and administrative items, the board voted. The chair said, "Hearing none, all in favor of approving the consent items as presented, please indicate by saying aye and raise your hand." The clerk recorded the motion as carried and stated the consent items were approved; the transcript notes one opposed but does not name that member.

Items listed on the consent agenda (verbatim language from the meeting list) included: a 01 personnel report; a 02 resolution to request verification of the approval of credentials and selection of Brian c Ratliff as interim superintendent of Anson County Schools; a 03 interim budget resolution; a 04 budget amendments; a 05 approval of the year end budget amendments; a 06 new CTE plan; a 07 Morven Head Start lease agreement; a 08 grounds and lawn and ground maintenance services contract; a 09 the right the grant the right away to d o t; a 10 Vector Solutions participation; and a 11 extension of the board attorney's contract for three years.

The transcript records follow-up questions from board members seeking clarification about certifications and administrative items; staff said they did not have all answers immediately but that individuals were available after the meeting to provide details. No separate roll-call tally appears in the transcript; the clerk announced the motion carried after the voice vote.

Because these items were adopted on the consent agenda as a single bundled vote, the board did not take separate roll-call votes on each listed item in the public record included in the transcript.
