Board approves director contract and accepts board member resignation; county commission to fill vacancy
Summary
The board approved a contract for the new district director (draft term June 1–May 31, 2030) and later voted to accept an elected board member’s resignation, declaring the seat vacant and noting the county commission will appoint a replacement at its March meeting.
The Hickman County Board of Education approved a contract for the new district director after reviewing the draft term and legal review. The draft contract showed a June 1 start date and a May 31, 2030 end date; board members approved the contract and signed the initial documents.
Board members also discussed a recently submitted resignation letter from an elected board member. After initial procedural discussion and a brief motion to table, the board later voted to accept the resignation, declared the seat vacant and noted the Hickman County Commission will fill the vacancy at its March meeting because there is one candidate running.
Board discussion referenced allowing the incoming director to begin consulting earlier in April so she can attend budget meetings and visit schools prior to her June start; that consultant start was discussed as a separate arrangement and indicated would follow prior pay practices. The contract vote and the resignation acceptance were both carried by board majority voice votes.
What happens next: board chair will sign the director contract and the county commission will act to appoint the replacement board member at its next meeting.
