Summary

The Barrow County Board approved minutes, the agenda, the consent agenda (with athletic improvements removed), a personnel report, and later approved system athletic improvements in a separate vote after a member announced a recusal; the board also voted to enter executive session to discuss superintendent employment matters.

At its Feb. 3 meeting the Barrow County Board of Education approved routine items and conducted separate votes on an athletic-improvements item after a previously announced recusal.

The superintendent recommended approval of several earlier meeting minutes, and the board approved those minutes after a second by Miss Bradford. The board then approved the meeting agenda. A board member requested the system athletic-improvements item be removed from the consent agenda and deferred for separate consideration; Mr. Calloway moved to approve the remainder of the consent agenda and Dr. Carey seconded. The consent agenda (without the athletic improvements) was approved.

Later in the meeting, the board considered the system athletic improvements item separately. A board member who had announced a recusal earlier in the meeting did not participate in the vote. Miss Hendricks moved to approve the athletic improvements and Mr. Calloway seconded; the board approved the item while the recused member said, "I'm not voting."

The board also moved to approve the personnel report during the meeting (the motion was seconded and approved). Separately, Miss Hendricks moved that the board enter executive session to discuss appointment, employment, compensation, hiring, disciplinary action or dismissal of public officers and to interview superintendent applicants; Miss Bradford seconded the motion and the board recessed for executive session and planned to return afterward.
