Mathews County School Board adopts closed‑meeting certificate, approves personnel actions and schedules 2025–26 budget hearing

A recent meeting of the Mathews County School Board adopted a written certificate confirming a prior closed meeting and approved the personnel actions listed on the agenda, board members said. The board also announced a public hearing and budget work session for the 2025–26 school budget on Feb. 6, 2025, and set its next regular monthly meeting for Feb. 18, 2025.

The meeting record shows a board member moved to "adopt the certificate of closed meeting as written," and a second board member seconded the motion. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript as four "yes" responses; the motion passed.

Later, under agenda item 13.2, a board member moved to approve personnel actions "as listed," the motion was seconded and there was no discussion. Members voiced assent and the motion passed; the transcript does not provide a clear, named roll-call tally for that vote.

Under other business, a speaker reminded attendees that the public hearing and budget work session for the 2025–26 school budget will begin Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025 at 5 p.m. in the J. Murray Brooks Auditorium at Thomas Hunter Middle School. The board also announced its next regular monthly meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025 at 6 p.m. in the same location. The chair then called for adjournment.
