Summary
The board approved action item 2.01 to reorganize duties, assigning Dr. Houghton as deputy clerk and naming Josh Neighbors as the superintendent’s designee to sign in the superintendent’s absence after brief discussion about qualifications.
Amherst County — The Amherst County School Board approved an action item reorganizing clerical signing duties and designations. The motion — introduced and seconded during the meeting — authorized Dr. Houghton to be assigned as deputy clerk for signing purposes and named Josh Neighbors as a superintendent designee to sign in Dr. Houghton’s absence.
A board member questioned whether Mr. Neighbors had prior experience as a school principal; Dr. Houghton replied the role is administrative signing rather than a principal role and explained the designee would sign in his absence. "All it basically is, ma'am, is, signing in my absence," Dr. Houghton said. He added that, in an emergency, another designee (transcript alternately spelled Nabors/Nabors) would stand in as he had for a prior superintendent.
After discussion, the chair called for a voice vote; ayes were recorded and no nays were noted on the transcript. The motion carried and the reorganization as described was approved.
