Caswell County Board of Education swears in three members and holds reorganizational votes
Summary
Three incoming members of the Caswell County Board of Education were administered the oath of office and the board conducted nominations and voice votes to select a chair and vice chair; the transcript does not record the names of the elected chair or vote tallies.
At a meeting with the date not specified in the record, the Caswell County Board of Education administered oaths of office to three incoming members and held nominations and voice votes to select a board chair and a vice chair.
Board attorney administered the oath to each incoming member. The attorney asked each to swear to “support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Constitution and laws of North Carolina not inconsistent therewith,” and to “well and truly execute the duties as a member of the Caswell County Board of Education according to the best of your skill and ability.” Triti Blackwell, Nicole McGee and Lisa Johnson Knight each answered “I do” after the oath was read.
The board then moved to reorganize its leadership. The presiding officer opened nominations for board chair and a motion to nominate was made; the record shows nominations were closed and members were asked to indicate their vote by raising their hands. The transcript records the call for hands and that the vote was taken, but it does not clearly identify the nominee by name nor provide a numerical tally. The meeting proceeded to open the floor for a vice chair nomination; the record shows a second was recorded and a vote taken by raised hands, but again the transcript does not clearly identify the person nominated for vice chair or the vote count.
Remarks in the record identify Miss Smith, Miss Blackwell and Miss Beverly as participating during the vice-chair nomination and seconding process, but the transcript does not attribute a successful candidacy or final title assignment to a named individual in the record excerpt provided.
No ordinance, statute, contract or other formal legal authority was cited during the oath administration or the reorganization discussion in the excerpted transcript. The transcript does not show any roll-call vote or written tally for the chair or vice-chair elections; the outcome is recorded only as having been decided by voice/raised-hand vote.
The meeting record excerpt ends after the reorganization votes and does not specify any additional follow-up items or the date of the next meeting.
