Board approves policies, consent items, personnel hires and administrative actions
Summary
The board placed a digital accessibility policy (policy 8.12) on 30-day comment, approved the consent package, and approved several personnel items and superintendent recommendations for 2026–27 by voice vote; routine motions passed without recorded individual roll-call tallies.
The Raleigh County Schools board approved several administrative and routine actions during the meeting:
- Policy 8.12 (digital accessibility): A drafted policy to implement new digital-accessibility requirements was placed on a 30-day public comment period after a motion by a board member carried by voice vote.
- Consent items: The board approved consent items a–d as a package following a brief question about a $15,000 payment to Clean River Housekeeping.
- Personnel and superintendent recommendations: The board approved personnel corrections, resignations and substitute listings (including a substitute effective date of 05/13/2026), accepted superintendent recommendations for the 2026–27 year, approved administrative leave matters, approved Amanda Hayhurst per the superintendent’s recommendation, and contracted Rose Kelly for 100 hours as an administrative coach for Stratton Elementary (funded through the school improvement grant). All motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
During the meeting no roll-call vote tallies were read into the record; the chair called for 'aye' and motions were announced as carried. Where specific effective dates or funding sources were mentioned, the transcript recorded them (for example, Rose Kelly’s 100 hours are funded by an approved State Department of Education school improvement grant for Stratton, and a substitute effective date of 05/13/2026 was noted).
