Summary
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Pitt County Board of Education elected Kelli Weaver as chair and Mary Maultsby as vice chair, adopted the agenda and unanimously approved a consent package that included minutes, a multi-year camera support agreement and a trash collection contract.
The Pitt County Board of Education voted at its Dec. 1 meeting to elect Kelli Weaver as chair and Mary Maultsby as vice chair for the coming term, adopting its agenda and unanimously approving a multi-item consent agenda.
Board members nominated and confirmed leadership by voice and hand vote after a brief nomination process. The board then adopted the meeting agenda without amendment. The consent agenda approved by unanimous voice vote included minutes from the Nov. 3 and Nov. 17, 2025 meetings; a five-year continuation of support for Cloud 12 camera systems; the 2025–26 capital budget requests; a contract for trash collection with GFL; and the personnel report for Dec. 1, 2025.
The superintendent said the board will return to an attendance-area listening tour in 2026 and that dates and locations will be announced at the January meeting. “Weare going to be back on the road for our listening tour in 2026,” the superintendent said, noting details would be shared at the next work session.
Procedurally, the board also heard a first reading of proposed updates to Policy 23-10 (public expression rules) from board counsel and agreed to include the policysecond reading and potential approval on the Jan. 5, 2026 consent agenda. The proposed changes would standardize public-expression time to three minutes per speaker and remove outdated references tied to prior board size; counsel said the presentation was for first reading and invited questions.
No roll-call vote was recorded for the leadership elections or consent agenda; outcomes were announced by the chair and clerk as adopted by majority or unanimous voice vote. The meeting adjourned after members exchanged closing remarks and holiday wishes.
