McComb School District board approves hiring a district hearing attorney at Sept. 18 special meeting
Summary
At a Sept. 18 special-call meeting, the McComb School District board unanimously approved hiring a district hearing attorney after brief procedural business; the board also adopted the agenda and then adjourned.
The McComb School District board met in a special-call session on Sept. 18 and approved hiring a district hearing attorney, the board president announced.
Board members first adopted the meeting agenda on a voice vote after a motion by Betsy Murrell and a second from Dr. Alvin Burks. Superintendent Vick then introduced agenda item No. 3: approval to hire a district hearing attorney. After a motion, a second and a voice vote, the presiding officer said, “the ayes have it,” and the hiring was approved.
Those recorded speaking during votes included Veil Dillon, Alvin Burks, Betsy Murrell, Leanne Martin and Angela Bates (who posted an “I” in the chat and was noted as having voted). The meeting record shows no named opposition during the roll calls or the vote on hiring legal counsel.
With no further business raised — Superintendent Vick replied “No, ma’am” when asked — the board made a motion to adjourn. The presiding officer confirmed the motion to adjourn (moved by Lynn Martin and seconded by Betsy Murrell), members voted in the affirmative, and the meeting was closed.
The actions taken were procedural and limited to adopting the agenda, approving the hiring of a district hearing attorney, and adjourning the special-call meeting. The transcript does not specify the firm or attorney selected, the contract terms, compensation, or an effective date for the hire; those details were not stated on the record.
