Summary
At its meeting the Haywood County Schools Board of Education unanimously approved the FY 2023-24 audit, a calendar for 2025-26, an interlocal contract transfer for a teacher for the visually impaired, a contract amendment for the auditors, eight policy second readings, budget amendment No. 3, bank reports, appointments, and personnel items.
The Haywood County Schools Board of Education took a series of routine, unanimous actions during the meeting.
Key votes (all carried unanimously unless noted):
- Agenda approval as presented. - Acceptance of the FY 2023-24 audited financial statements and related audit reports presented by Anderson Smith and White. - Approval of an amendment to the auditor contract to extend the audit completion date due to hurricane-related delays. - Approval of a contract with Transylvania County Board of Education to share a teacher for the visually impaired and receive reimbursement for the service. - Approval of the Haywood County Schools draft calendar for 2025-26. - Approval of eight policies on second reading to align with state requirements and clarify local processes. - Appointment of Chairman Jim Francis to the Haywood County Parks and Recreation Board (open-ended term as volunteer representative). - Approval of bank reports presented by the finance committee. - Approval of Budget Amendment No. 3 for fiscal year 2025 to adjust totals in the budget resolution to reflect current allocations and expenditures. - Approval of personnel items: 23 employments, multiple status changes, separations, coaches, interns and leaves as presented by the superintendent. - Removal of emergency authorization previously granted to the superintendent to execute flood-project contracts (board restored routine approval authority for those contracts).
Each motion passed without recorded opposition. Several motions named movers and seconders in the record (examples below); the meeting transcript shows "motion carries unanimously" for each.
Votes and next steps: the board directed staff to continue standard follow-up for implemented items'for example, finance will file the audit contract amendment, human resources will process personnel actions, and the superintendent will present the 2025-26 recommended budget to the board as scheduled.
