Board approves contracts, dual-credit agreements and several policies in routine meeting
Summary
The Hardy County Board of Education approved multiple contracts and agreements including pro-program contracts with the county commission and a dual-credit MOU with Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College, advanced a transport policy for first reading, and approved board goals and personnel actions by voice vote.
The Hardy County Board of Education approved a series of routine items and agreements during its meeting, including two contracts tied to a pro program with the Hardy County Commission and a memorandum of understanding with Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College to establish dual-credit pathways in allied health and hospitality/tourism.
Board members moved and approved the consent agenda and a first reading of a policy granting high-school credit to middle-school students. The board also approved a list of dual-credit courses effective July 1, 2024, and a CFP amendment to add a secure-entrance addition to Morfield Middle School. A motion to approve the contracts with the Hardy County Commission and the MOU with Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College passed by voice vote.
The meeting included a first reading of the Transportation Employees Alcohol and Controlled Substances policy, clarifying that some vehicle incidents (for example, striking a deer) would not automatically require a drug test. That policy advanced as a first reading; the transcript does not show a final adoption vote during this meeting.
Board goals for the 2024–25 school year and recommended personnel actions were both presented and approved. The board approved the superintendent's goals after minor wording clarifications and then voted to accept the superintendent's recommended personnel actions. The transcript records voice approvals but does not include a roll-call tally or individual member votes.
