The Morgan County Board of Education unanimously approved a series of routine agenda items at a regularly scheduled meeting, including contracts, staff stipends, and a new pre-K student code of conduct.
Superintendent (speaker 3) recommended approval of personnel items numbered 1 through 42. "I'd like to recommend approval of the following personnel items as written number 1 through number 42," the superintendent said; the board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation.
