Rowan County board returns from closed session and records a 3 on Superintendent Rowe—s evaluation

The Rowan County board returned to open session from a closed meeting and approved a score of 3 on Superintendent Rowe's evaluation, the board said.

Board members said the evaluation had been conducted in closed session and that they would record a numerical score when they returned to the special-called meeting. "Yeah. We decided to put a score of a 3 on the evaluation," a board member said during the public record.

The board then moved to accept the score. A second was recorded by Mr. Brad, and the board conducted a voice vote. The presiding officer called for those in favor to say "aye," heard aye responses and declared the motion passed. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any opposing votes.

Earlier, the meeting recorded a motion by Megan and a second by Miss Brenda to reconvene the special-called meeting after closed session. After the evaluation motion passed, the board made and seconded a motion to adjourn and the meeting ended.

The board did not state further details in the open record: the meeting transcript identifies that an evaluation took place in closed session, that the board assigned the numerical score of 3, and that the acceptance of that score was approved by voice vote. No additional findings, comments from Superintendent Rowe, or vote counts were recorded in the transcript provided.
