At its Dec. 9 meeting the Monongalia County Board of Education completed several formal actions by voice vote:
• Student expulsion (case 5‑2025‑26): Board approved superintendent’s recommendation for a 365‑day expulsion for possession of a controlled substance (second offense this school year, third overall). Motion introduced and seconded; motion carried by voice vote.
• Joe R. Pyle Auction & Realty Service Agency contract (Daybrook School): Board approved the real estate auction listing contract as presented.
• Accounts payable addendum A: Board approved the addendum following a chair recusal (chair recused for business relationship; Mr. Berry presided during the item).
• Consent agenda (items a–g): After pulling item d (broadcast agreement) for separate discussion, the board approved the remainder of the consent agenda, including expenditures over $3,000, supplements and transfers, payroll and the minutes from 11/12/2025 and 11/18/2025.
• Personnel list and personnel addendum: Board approved both the personnel list and the addendum; HR staff explained resignations are typically documented and reasons vary, though some employees request privacy.
• Policy first readings: Board approved Volume 17 first readings on nondiscrimination and related technical corrections (policies listed by number in executive materials).
• Broadcast agreement renewal: Approved for one year; Board Member Christina recorded a dissenting vote and asked for analytics and a clearer accounting of charges.
Where motions and seconders were not identified by name in the public record, votes were taken by voice and the board announced motions carried or failed. Staff will return with analytics and more detailed allocation and contract information when requested.
