EOC approves minutes, appoints nominating committee for chair and vice chair
Summary
The Education Oversight Committee approved prior meeting minutes and voted to appoint a nominating committee to produce a slate for chair and vice chair when current terms end in June.
Columbia, S.C. — The Education Oversight Committee approved minutes from its Feb. 10, 2025 full committee meeting and voted to appoint a nominating committee to recommend candidates for committee chair and vice chair whose terms end in June.
Dr. Couch moved to form the nominating panel, citing the statutory term limits in section 50‑9‑610 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. He said members Ms. Allen and Dr. Newsome have terms that conclude in June and proposed a non‑meeting nomination committee consisting of himself, Representative Hager, Senator Turner and Dr. Tate.
The motion to appoint the nominating committee was seconded (second not specified on the record) and approved by voice vote. Dr. Couch asked to meet with the newly formed committee immediately following the adjournment.
The committee also handled routine business: the chair sought and received a motion to approve the Feb. 10, 2025 minutes; the minutes were approved by voice vote (mover/second not specified on the transcript record).
No additional details or contested roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript. The nominating committee is to deliver a slate for chair and vice chair to the full committee at the June meeting, per the motion.
