Board approves routine business: bills for payment and extracurricular hire
Summary
The board approved bills for payment after a brief discussion about unusually high elementary gas bills and approved hiring William Frederick as head coach for the Mini Titan boys and girls track programs following a student survey showing 18 signups.
The Gilmer County Schools Board approved routine business items, including paying presented bills and approving an extracurricular hire.
At the start of new business the clerk noted some bills had been pushed by the meeting schedule. The chair said the "gas bills at the elementary seem outrageous to me," prompting staff to explain billing cycles and that the high school may appear on two cycles, which can make totals look larger. After discussion, a board member moved to approve the bills for payment "as presented," the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair recorded "motion carries." The transcript does not present a roll-call tally.
Under personnel the superintendent (Dr. Manning) recommended hiring William Frederick as head coach for both the Mini Titan boys and girls track teams; the presenter said 18 students had signed up during a recent survey. A board member moved to approve the extracurricular personnel recommendation; the motion was seconded and the board approved the hire by voice vote.
The board also approved a five-minute recess later in the meeting and reconvened. No contract amounts, candidate background details beyond the hiring recommendation, or roll-call vote counts were recorded in the public transcript.
