Board approves personnel recommendations, incentive bonus and several leaves and suspensions
Summary
The Raleigh County Board approved superintendent personnel recommendations for FY25–26, an incentive bonus deadline adjustment, contract services for a school health nurse, and administrative leave/suspensions for several employees; all motions carried by voice votes during the meeting.
The Raleigh County Board of Education approved a series of personnel items and related motions during its meeting.
Superintendent staff (speaker 15) presented corrected personnel recommendations for the 25–26 year, clarifying contract length for one hire and noting the rescission of a previously accepted position. The board approved the superintendent's recommendations with the corrections noted.
The board approved an incentive bonus for early retirements; the presenter said the program is ‘‘as it was last year’’ but the deadline was moved to March 2 because March 1 falls on a Sunday. The board approved placing the two accessibility‑reformatted policies on 30‑day comment.
The board also approved contract services for Angela (Angie) Foster as a school health nurse through 06/30/2026, administrative leave for Amanda Hayhurst as recommended by the superintendent, the suspension of teacher Cole Blankenship, and administrative leave and suspension for bus operator Davin (Davin) Harden Ball (the board clarified the correct spelling is Davin Harden Ball). Board motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous ‘‘aye’’ responses but does not provide an itemized roll‑call tally.
No additional board action was recorded on these personnel approvals beyond the voice votes; the motions carried and were entered into the minutes.
