Summary
During the Jan. 6 work session the board approved the meeting agenda and minutes by voice vote and later approved personnel matters discussed in executive session; a board member (Mister Bailey) recused himself from one personnel item due to a family member appearing on the list.
The Newton County Board of Education approved routine procedural items and personnel recommendations during its Jan. 6 work session.
Early in the meeting the board voted by voice to approve the evening’s agenda and to approve the minutes as presented in the board materials. These motions were moved and seconded and carried by 'aye' voice votes.
Later in new business, the board moved to approve personnel matters discussed in executive session (Item 13i). The motion was moved and seconded; the chair called the question and the motion passed by voice vote. The board noted that one member, Mister Bailey, recused himself from personnel item number 19 because a family member was on the list; the chair instructed the recusal be recorded.
The meeting record did not include roll-call vote tallies for the agenda, minutes or personnel motions; approvals were recorded by voice vote. Other consent and recommendation items were introduced for future board action but were not formally approved in open session at this work session.
