Summary
The Duplin County Board of Education approved routine agenda and consent items, authorized the superintendent to sign and submit a North Carolina Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund grant application due Oct. 3, and approved personnel recommendations following an executive session.
The Duplin County Board of Education on Tuesday approved routine agenda and consent items, authorized the superintendent to sign and submit a North Carolina Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund grant application ahead of the Oct. 3 deadline, and approved the superintendent’s personnel recommendations after an executive session.
The board opened the meeting with an invocation by Savannah Smith, a senior at Wallace Rose Hill High School, then moved through procedural business. The Chair asked for and received approval of the meeting agenda (moved by Miss Edwards; seconded by Mr. Keenan) and the consent agenda (moved by Mr. Jones; seconded by Miss Edwards) by voice votes.
The board went into an executive session that the Chair said was permitted under general statutes to consider personnel matters, protect confidential student information, and preserve attorney–client privilege. After returning to open session, the board approved the superintendent’s personnel recommendations; Miss Edwards moved the action and the Chair recorded the motion as carried by voice vote. The transcript records voice votes but does not include a roll-call tally or named individual votes.
Later in the meeting the Chair requested and the board approved adding a brief agenda item to consider the North Carolina Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund grant. The Chair noted the application period is open and that the application deadline is Oct. 3. Mr. Keenan moved that the board allow the superintendent to sign and submit the application when it is ready; Mr. Jones seconded, and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The Chair closed the meeting after a brief board information item and a comment from Mr. Ross about recognition on a helmet. The board adjourned following a voice vote.
