Brooke County Schools board approves consent agenda, hires and field trips
Summary
The board voted unanimously to approve multiple consent items including facility uses, participation in a WV Department of Agriculture program, field trips (Hoover's Heights Primary May 19) and several personnel hires (Chelsea Ewing; Stephanie Gordon; Brenna Johnson; Melinda Helt; Leslie Harvath; Alicia Taylor).
The Brooke County Schools board moved through a multi-item consent agenda and approved a series of routine motions, all recorded as carrying unanimously. Items taken together included approval of March minutes, multiple administrative and program permissions, facility-use recommendations from the athletic director, and district participation in a West Virginia Department of Agriculture grocery program for the 2026-27 school year.
The board approved several field trip and permission requests, including a May 19 outing for second-grade students and staff from Hoover's Heights Primary to the National Aviary. A travel request relating to six middle-school students originally set for April 1 was deferred then handled as part of consent motions.
On personnel, the chair read multiple names and postings; the transcript lists these new personnel and postings: Chelsea Ewing (aid/office mentor, posting S1454), Stephanie Gordon (community in school, reason: absence), Brenna Johnson (third grade teacher, Franklin Intermediate), Melinda Helt (E Cat Brook Hyde posting), Leslie Harvath (southeast pathologist, Jefferson Intermediate) and Alicia Taylor (E Cat, Hopesham Heights). A motion to approve all new personnel items was made and carried unanimously.
Financial items were also addressed: the board confirmed there were no supplements or transfers and approved the superintendent's recommendation for payment of bills. Several motions that touched attendance (including a referenced 95% attendance rate between Feb. 1 and May 1 for a group described in the transcript as "Florida High School students only") were approved; the transcript does not provide further financial details or dollar amounts.
The board concluded routine business and set its next regular meeting and hearing schedule; five hearings were noted for April 8. No contested votes or dissent were recorded in the transcript.
