Rockdale board places 19 action items on consent agenda; approves personnel moves in executive session
Summary
At the work session the board voted 6–0 to place 19 action items on the regular‑session consent agenda. After executive session the board approved several personnel actions including a new chief technology officer and principal appointments, all recorded as 6–0 votes.
The Rockdale County Board of Education voted unanimously at its April work session to place 19 action items — covering curriculum purchases, digital platforms and facilities projects — on the next regular meeting consent agenda.
A motion to place items 1 through 19 on the regular‑session consent agenda was made and seconded and approved by a 6–0 vote, as recorded in the work‑session minutes.
Later, after an executive session called to discuss personnel and pending litigation, the board returned to open session and approved a series of motions recorded in the meeting minutes: - Approved representation of Deborah Live Oak and Christina Arnold in pending litigation under board policy BBE. The motion was recorded as made by “mister Jesse Kenny” and seconded by Janie Jones; vote 6–0. - Approved the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Michael Rojan, director of information and digital learning, as chief technology officer, effective June 2, 2025; vote recorded 6–0. - Approved the superintendent’s recommendation to transfer Dr. Erica Wayfall from principal at CJ Hicks Elementary School to principal at Barksdale Elementary School, effective July 1, 2025; vote recorded 6–0. - Approved the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Dr. Anthony Browning, currently assistant principal at CJ Hicks Elementary, as principal at CJ Hicks Elementary School effective July 1, 2025; vote recorded 6–0.
All motions taken in open session were recorded in the transcript as approved unanimously. The personnel approvals followed an executive session; the work‑session record indicates those matters were discussed in executive session before being voted on in open session. The transcript shows the board then adjourned the meeting with a 6–0 vote.
The consent‑agenda placement means the administration’s recommended purchases and renewals presented at the work session will appear for formal approval during the next regular meeting. Any contracts resulting from the consent items are contingent on superintendent and general‑counsel review and the formal regular‑session vote.
