Board approves agenda, consent items and character-education program 'Move This World'
Summary
The Wicomico County Board of Education approved the meeting agenda, multiple consent contracts and adopted the Move This World character education program during its May meeting; votes were unanimous where recorded.
The Wicomico County Board of Education on its May meeting day approved the meeting agenda, several consent contracts and adopted a character-education program called Move This World.
The board took a voice vote to approve the meeting agenda and later approved minutes from prior meetings and several consent items — including cooperative purchasing contracts for IT, audiovisual equipment, grounds equipment and office supplies — in a roll-call vote. The board then voted to adopt Move This World, a character-education program the district piloted during the past school year.
Board members recorded their votes on the consent items in roll call: Kristen Hazel (aye), David Platts (aye), Delegate Beauchamp (aye), Alan Brown (aye), Dr. Bonnie Ennis (aye) and Chair Matthew Malone (aye). The Move This World item was adopted after the board confirmed it had been discussed at a prior work session and no additional questions were raised at the open meeting.
The agenda, minutes and consent approvals were presented as routine business; the Move This World adoption was presented as an action upon the superintendent’s recommendation and advanced without substantive debate during the open session.
Votes at a glance - Approval of May meeting agenda: carried (voice vote). - Approval of minutes (March 11 regular meeting; March 25 work session; March 25 special meeting): carried (voice/roll call as recorded). - Consent items (personnel matters; cooperative contracts for IT, audiovisual, grounds equipment; office supply contracts; others listed by staff): approved (roll call: Hazel, Platts, Beauchamp, Brown, Ennis, Malone — all recorded as aye). - Adoption of Move This World (character-education program): approved (voice/roll call recorded as unanimous where roll-call was taken).
No motions failed or were tabled in open session during the items recorded here. Several items were listed as "for information only" (personnel matters; an MOU renewal with the Town of Pittsville) and required no board action.
The board did not specify implementation timelines for Move This World at the open meeting; staff previously presented program resources at a work session and will manage next steps under superintendent direction.
