Hoke County Schools board approves amended personnel report, commends assistant superintendents and directors

The Hoke County Schools board approved an amended personnel report after a motion and voice vote during a brief meeting. The Chair moved to approve the amended personnel report; the motion was seconded and the Chair called for those in favor, receiving 'Aye' responses and stating, 'It passes.'

The approval was followed by public praise from the Chair addressed to assistant superintendents and directors: 'you are doing a fantastic job. We cannot thank you enough, of all the work that you do for us.' The Chair emphasized that board members rely on staff execution: 'You guys are the ones that do all the work for us.'

A board member asked whether they should make a statement about contracts at that time; other participants answered 'No' and the question was not pursued further. The Chair also noted a few technical issues that staff were working to resolve and asked participants to 'hang in there.'

The meeting closed with a final motion—'That'll be it'—which was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative 'Aye' responses but does not record vote tallies or the name of the seconder. No formal ordinances, statutes, or detailed personnel changes were specified in the available transcript excerpts.
