Carroll County Board of Education approves superintendent’s personnel actions after procedural revote

The Carroll County Board of Education unanimously approved personnel actions presented by the superintendent during a special-called meeting, after the board conducted a procedural revote prompted by uncertainty about exiting an earlier executive session, the board's chair said.

The meeting opened with a motion by the chair to go into executive session “to discuss the future acquisitions of real estate, [safety and] security personnel, pending or threatened litigation or recommendations that are exempt from disclosure under the Open Records Act,” the chair said. Board members moved and voted to enter executive session.

After the board returned, the chair asked for a recommendation to approve the superintendent’s personnel actions and put the motion forward. A second was made and the chair called for a vote; following procedural clarification about whether the executive session had been formally adjourned the board conducted a revote. The chair moved the motion again, and after a second said, “So that is unanimous.”

The chair also stated the transcript records one named vote—“Mister Sizemore” voting yes—but did not provide a full roll call in the spoken record. The chair declared the overall result unanimous; the transcript does not include a complete roll-call tally.

Board members also used the meeting to confirm scheduling: two tribunal appeals are set for Monday, with times captured in the transcript as “04:30 and 5” (time of day not specified in the record). The chair then moved to adjourn, members seconded the motion, and the meeting was closed.

The board entered and exited an executive session during the special meeting to consider the matters cited by the chair; no additional public details about those executive-session topics were recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
