Board approves certified personnel recommendations after executive session; trustee disclosed family relationship
Summary
Following executive session, the Chester County Board of School Trustees approved certified personnel recommendations unanimously. One trustee disclosed a family relation to a candidate and said they would participate in the vote under South Carolina law.
Following an executive session, the Chester County Board of School Trustees voted unanimously to approve certified personnel recommendations presented to the board.
Before the initial executive session, a trustee disclosed a family relationship with one candidate: "My relative, employee A, is among those persons recommended by the superintendent for employment for the 2025-2026 school year," the trustee said, and referenced South Carolina law on recusals, noting they would participate in the vote when the board acted in open session.
After the second executive session the board returned to open session and moved to approve the certified personnel recommendations as presented in executive session. A trustee moved the motion and another trustee seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The public transcript does not list names of the individual candidates or roll-call vote counts.
The board did not discuss the individual hires in open session; the action followed the district—s executive-session personnel discussion and the superintendent—s recommendations.
Authority cited during the disclosure: SC Code a7 8-13-700(b)(4), which the trustee referenced when announcing the family relationship and participation in the vote.
