The Berkeley County Board of Education approved several committee-recommended academic actions on Jan. 26, including Head Start financial reports and designated schools' turnaround plans.

Committee Chair Kathy Littleton reported the committee met on Jan. 12 and moved that the board approve the Head Start budget expenditure report for November 2025, the Head Start credit report for November 2025, prospective hires, and the 2026–27 refunding application; the board approved those items by voice vote. Littleton also moved to approve identified schools' continuous improvement turnaround plans so they could be submitted to the South Carolina Office of Leadership Effectiveness by the Jan. 30, 2026 deadline. That motion passed with the ayes prevailing 8–1; Ms. Coates recorded the dissenting vote.

Littleton framed the actions as part of the district's broader work to support school improvement and to meet state submission deadlines. The board recorded the committee recommendations as formal board actions during the meeting.
