School board waives $100 gym fee for community Easter event and approves personnel recommendations
Summary
At a March 31 special-called meeting, the Fairfield County School Board went into executive session on personnel, approved minutes and multiple staffing recommendations for 2026–27, and waived a $100 gym rental fee so a community council can hold an April 4 Easter egg hunt.
The Fairfield County School Board on March 31, 2026 entered executive session for personnel, then returned and approved a series of routine items including minutes from its March 17 meeting, multiple personnel recommendations for the 2026–27 school year, and a request to waive a $100 gymnasium rental fee for a community Easter egg hunt.
Chairman Miller opened the special-called meeting at 6:00 p.m., confirmed public notice and a quorum, and led the board through procedural business. The board voted 7-0 to enter executive session for personnel matters and later moved to exit the executive session with no action taken while in closed session.
Dr. Campbell presented a facility-use request from the Cross to Water Community Council (referred to in the record with variants including “Crossaway” and “CTW”) seeking to use McCorley Liston School of Technology’s gymnasium for an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 4, 2026. Dr. Campbell said the group would pay utilities and custodial costs and asked the board to waive the $100 gym rental fee. "They are requesting to use McCrory Liston for a community Easter egg hunt that will be held this weekend," Dr. Campbell said. A motion to waive the $100 fee was made, seconded and approved by the members present.
Under human-resources business, the superintendent presented four personnel items and recommended board approval. The items included certified resignations/terminations effective at the close of the 2025–26 school year (Exhibit 1), certified administrative appointments for 2026–27 (Exhibit 2), certified educator appointments listed in Exhibits 3A and 3B for 2026–27, and classified-staff recommendations in Exhibit 4. Board members moved, seconded and approved each of the superintendent’s recommendations.
The superintendent noted that the district’s superintendent report has been distributed to schools, will be available at local businesses and posted on social media, and commended the public communications office and Jalen Copeland for assembling the report. "We have distributed hard copies to all of the schools, and it has been put out on all social media platforms," the superintendent said.
The board also heard brief recognitions: one member announced an alumna completed an 18-month program, and another recognized a magnet-school student who won a division award for a children's book selection that will be used statewide. Chairman Miller invited the public to attend the Blair parade on April 25.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the chair adjourned the meeting.
