Hoke County Schools board approves personnel report; superintendent outlines outreach and driver recruitment
Summary
At a Hoke County Schools board meeting, the board approved the personnel report while the superintendent previewed a Jan. 28 community outreach event, urged bus driver recruitment and said the district will participate in an MLK event.
Hoke County Schools board members approved a personnel report and heard a superintendent's report that outlined upcoming community outreach and staffing efforts.
The board voted to approve the personnel report after a motion; one board member announced a recusal from personnel matters before the vote. No individual vote tallies or mover/second names were recorded in the transcript.
The superintendent (name not specified) used the report to promote a district event, Superintendent's Night Out, scheduled for Jan. 28, and described plans for broad community outreach ahead of the event. "We have our superintendent's night out coming up on January 28th. I'm looking forward to it. We're really getting the message out. I'm looking for a big crowd," the superintendent said. The superintendent said each department will be present to speak about its work and that the district aims to distribute pamphlets and flyers to churches across Hoke County to publicize district programs and events.
On staffing, the superintendent said the district needs more bus drivers and that the administration will intensify recruitment efforts in the coming days. "We want to really, flood the market, so to speak. And I'm going to do a radio commercial this week, either Thursday or Friday," the superintendent said, referring to an impending radio ad to boost hiring. The superintendent also said the district's Parent Advisory has been seeing increasing attendance and that the advisory will have a table at the Jan. 28 event.
The superintendent said district cabinet members will represent Hoke County Schools at a Martin Luther King Jr. event on the upcoming Monday and reiterated a broader goal of strengthening ties with the community: "We want to make sure that everybody knows that we're part of the community, that we're being good neighbors, and we're getting our messages out all over."
After the superintendent's remarks there were no further substantive questions recorded. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and approved.
