Summary
The board recognized students selected for the Macy's Great American Marching Band and teacher-award winners and apprentices; during board remarks a District 5 member announced he will not file for reelection next year and praised superintendent Dr. Richard.
During the meeting the board paused for spotlights and recognitions. Members presented certificates to Josephine Simmons and Natalia Estrada of Charles B. Aycock High School for selection to the Macy's Great American Marching Band and congratulated Macy Vivieros for being named the district's NCAT Empower Beginning Teacher of the Year. The board also recognized cohorts of teacher apprentices participating in the district's "Grow Your Own" initiatives and thanked human-resources and higher-education partners for their roles.
Later in the meeting, the District 5 board member used his board-comments time to announce he will not seek reelection in the next cycle and encouraged potential candidates to run for the seat. He praised the superintendent's leadership and said hiring the superintendent was "probably one of the best decisions I feel like I ever voted on." Several members offered holiday wishes and additional praise for district staff and programs.
The recognitions were presented by board members and district staff and included certificates signed by the board chair and superintendent (transcript contains some name variations for signatures).
