Board approves consent agenda, snow-removal renewal and personnel slate
Summary
The Berkeley County Board of Education approved its consent agenda, renewed the districts snow-removal contract (recorded amount $170,411.50) and accepted a comprehensive personnel slate totaling 565 actions during its Sept. 2 meeting.
The Berkeley County Board of Education approved routine and operational items during the Sept. 2 meeting, including the consent agenda, a snow-removal contract renewal and a comprehensive personnel slate.
Key board actions reported at the meeting:
- Agenda and consent items: The board approved the meeting agenda and later approved the consent agenda by voice vote after one board member requested moving two items earlier in the order so she could depart. The consent agenda included standard administrative items (details not all read aloud).
- Snow-removal contract renewal: The board approved a one-year renewal with the incumbent snow-removal contractor (listed in the meeting as Blades and Shades / Blazing Shades) and recorded an approved amount of $170,411.50 for the renewal. District staff said last years actual snow-removal spending was approximately $170,000 but that the annual cost depends on weather.
- Personnel actions: Human resources presented a large slate of personnel actions for consideration on Sept. 2. The superintendents recommendation included coaching appointments and resignations, extra-duty appointments, corrections and resignations, a range of professional and service personnel appointments and transfers, substitutes and retirements. The presenter summarized a total of 565 professional, service and substitute personnel actions on the docket; the board approved the slate by voice vote.
- Executive sessions: The board had earlier taken an executive session under West Virginia Code —6-9A-4(2) to discuss the superintendents annual goals and objectives and later moved into another executive session under the same code section to receive a legal update; no additional formal actions were taken immediately following the legal update session.
Most votes in the meeting were recorded by voice as "Aye"/"Opposed"; the meeting did not include roll-call tallies with named yes/no votes in the public transcript for these items.
