Rock Hill Schools board approves policy change, introduces administrators and sets calendar advisory timeline
Summary
At its Aug. 26 meeting the board approved a second reading of policy B, introduced new district administrators, approved routine consent items, and authorized a calendar advisory process with feedback due Oct. 17, 2025.
The Rock Hill Schools Board of Trustees conducted routine business on Aug. 26, approving the meeting agenda and consent items, adopting a required change to policy B in its second reading, and introducing several new administrators.
The meeting opened with a motion to approve the agenda; the chair announced the motion carried, 7–0. The consent action items — the Aug. 12 business meeting minutes and personnel recommendations — were then approved by the board on a subsequent motion.
During recognitions, Katie Barber introduced several administrators joining the district leadership team. "I am Katie Barber, and I serve as the Executive Director of Elementary Education, and I am so excited to introduce to you Dr. Lindsey Reiter, who will serve as our new Director of Instructional Program Effectiveness," Barber said. The board also welcomed Leah McKay as director of exceptional student education and Josh Boville as assistant principal at Richmond Drive Elementary.
The board considered the action agenda item described as the second reading of policy B, a required change recommended by attorneys with the South Carolina School Boards Association. "Are there any questions regarding this policy?" the chair asked; after a motion to approve (moved by Miss Harris and seconded by Miss Daniel) the chair announced the motion carried. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call tally for that vote.
On future business, board members discussed a calendar advisory committee to gather community feedback on the 2026–27 academic calendar under policy BDF and IC. The board requested staff to schedule meetings and conclude feedback by Oct. 17, 2025, with a final vote planned for Oct. 28, 2025, and named Jennifer Hutchinson and Lacey Daniel as contacts for the process.
The board adjourned at approximately 6:26 p.m.
