All motions carried on roll call.
The Pittsylvania County School Board recorded a series of unanimous roll-call approvals on March 10 covering personnel, student-discipline and facility-naming matters.
Key actions approved (motions were moved, seconded and recorded by roll call):
- Personnel changes for March 10, 2026: Approved. - Waiver to allow Amy Eman to retire under ERIP effective Sept. 1, 2026 (policy GBO-PC waiver): Approved. - Waiver to allow Debbie Hubbard to retire under ERIP effective Aug. 1, 2026 (policy GBO-PC waiver): Approved. - Release of a student from Gretna High School from compulsory attendance: Approved. - Expulsion (Case A) with no continuing educational services: Approved. - Immediate release of a bus driver at Chatham High School: Approved. - Waiver to remove the maximum on voluntary donated sick leave under policy GCBFB-PC to allow John Wagstaff to use up to 20 additional donated days for 2025–26 if received: Approved. - Nomination and approval to name the Dan River High School baseball field for Sammy McCormick: Approved.
Each motion was read by staff, moved and seconded on the record, and carried by roll-call vote. The clerk called members for votes (Mister Fitzgerald; Mister Henderson; Mister Mills; Mister Moon; Miss Merrick; Mister Doss; Mister Dawes/Dawson; Mister Shields) and recorded unanimous "yes" replies for the items discussed.
The board's actions were largely procedural and tied to personnel policy waivers, student-discipline procedures and a facilities-related naming recommendation; none of the items required further external approvals beyond standard notifications.
Details: motions and recorded outcomes are available in the meeting minutes. The board adjourned after the final roll-call approvals.
