Randolph County board extends superintendent’s contract one year, approves 2.5% raise
Summary
The Randolph County School System board voted to extend Superintendent Dr. Gainey’s contract for one year and approved a 2.5% salary increase; the contract extension passed by a 6–1 tally, and the board framed the move as recognition of leadership and focus on safety and staffing.
At its regular meeting, the Randolph County School System board voted to extend Superintendent Dr. Gainey’s contract for one year and approved a 2.5% salary increase.
A board member formally moved to extend Dr. Gainey’s contract for one year; the chair called for the vote and later announced the motion carried with a 6–1 tally. The board also approved a 2.5% increase in Dr. Gainey’s salary. During discussion preceding the motions, trustees praised Dr. Gainey’s leadership "in strategic long range thinking and thoughtful attention to the needs of our students and staff," and cited his focus on safety and recruitment and retention as reasons for the extension.
The board presented both actions as personnel decisions following the earlier closed‑session deliberations that were authorized under North Carolina statutes for personnel and attorney‑client matters. The meeting record does not include named roll‑call votes; the chair announced the final tally but did not read individual member votes into the public record.
Ending: The board concluded the personnel actions and returned to general business; no additional contract details (salary base, effective date beyond an extension length) were disclosed in the public session.
