Board modifies student discipline decisions and approves personnel and policy items
Summary
The board approved a personnel list and several policy first readings, granted an out-of-district release request, and decided three student appeals, reversing one hearing officer decision and modifying two others to require behavior plans and school placement changes.
The Georgetown County School Board approved the administration’s recommended personnel list and proceeded through multiple action items and policy first readings.
On student discipline appeals, the board voted to reverse the hearing officer’s decision in case S1 and permit the student to return to their home school. For cases S2 and S3 the board modified the hearing officer’s opinions to require the students to complete the remainder of the 2023–24 year at Howard and begin the 2024–25 year at their home schools under behavior intervention plans. The motions as recorded in the transcript carried by voice vote; one board member recused themself from a vote where noted.
The board also approved several first-reading policy updates (including policy BFG review and evaluation, BHE board member insurance, BI legislative program and BJ board membership) and approved a request to release a Georgetown County resident for attendance out of district for 2024–25.
Most action items were adopted by voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies.
