Kershaw County School Board adopts 2627 calendar, approves consent items and personnel recommendations
Summary
The Kershaw County School Board unanimously adopted the proposed 2627 academic calendar, approved routine consent items, pulled a fitness presentation due to illness, and accepted administration recommendations on employment matters following executive session.
Kershaw County School Board of Trustees — At its March 4 meeting the Kershaw County School Board adopted the proposed school calendar for 2627, approved minutes and facility waivers on the consent agenda, and accepted administrative recommendations regarding employment matters after returning from executive session.
Chair (S1) called the meeting to order and the board adopted the meeting agenda by voice vote after a motion and second. The consent agenda — including approval of minutes from Feb. 18 and Feb. 25 and four facility waivers — was moved, seconded and adopted unanimously.
The board then considered the proposed 2627 calendar. A district presenter (S4) reviewed highlights: first student day Thursday, July 30; staggered 4K start; last student day Friday, May 21 so the term ends before Memorial Day; teacher workdays and professional development days marked on the calendar; the draft meets the required 180 days. After no questions, the calendar was put to a motion (mover recorded in the public record as Mr. James, second Mr. Roberts) and the board voted aye; the chair announced the motion carried.
Chair S1 announced that an item labeled "SC Fitness" was pulled from the agenda because the presenter was ill and would be rescheduled. The board reconvened from executive session and the chair read the subjects discussed in closed session — resignations and retirements, employment of certified and classified personnel, and assignment/transfer changes. The board then voted to accept administration recommendations on employment matters; the chair recorded the motion as moved by Miss Furnace and seconded by Coach Blackman, and the motion passed by voice vote.
The meeting ended following a motion to adjourn and a closing prayer offered by S2.
