Columbia County School Board approves personnel items and consent agenda by voice vote

At the Oct. 28 Columbia County School Board meeting, members moved to accept personnel items listed on the agenda and addendum and later approved the consent agenda, including addendum items.

A board member moved to accept the personnel items and another moved to second; the chair called a voice vote and recorded 'ayes,' after which she declared the motion carried. Later the consent agenda was moved and seconded and similarly approved by voice vote.

The meeting transcript records voice votes with 'ayes' and no opposed responses; the meeting did not include roll-call vote tallies or individual recorded votes in the publicly read minutes during the meeting.

These approvals were routine and were presented as part of the meeting's consent and action items rather than as separate debated measures.
