Summary
At its organizational meeting, the Onslow County Board of Education elected Mister Garvey as chair and Bradley Williams as vice chair by written ballot, approved the evening's agenda and consent items, and moved into regular business.
Mister Garvey was elected chairperson of the Onslow County Board of Education at the board's organizational meeting and immediately assumed leadership of the session. The board used a written-ballot process, permitted by Onslow board policy 2342 and referenced by the chair in opening remarks.
The board first moved to allow written ballots for the election of officers, a motion that was seconded and approved by voice vote. Ballots were distributed to seven board members; after votes were tallied the chair announced, “Congratulations, Mister Garvey. You've been elected chairperson of the board of education.” The new chair then called for the vice-chair election; Bradley Williams was announced as vice chairman.
The board followed the prescribed order of elections and procedures outlined at the meeting, including a reminder that, per the chair's remarks, officers are elected by majority of members present and that the superintendent may preside when necessary for the election. No roll-call tally was read aloud; outcomes were announced by the chair.
The meeting proceeded with the approved agenda and the consent agenda, both of which passed by voice vote.
