Patrick County School Board accepts resignation of Peters Creek representative and votes to review Dr. Will’s contract disclosure
Summary
The Patrick County School Board accepted the resignation of Peters Creek District representative Lester Hale, effective 05/31/2026, and approved a motion to review Dr. Will’s contract disclosure covering a four‑year term beginning 07/01/2026 through 06/03/2030.
The Patrick County School Board voted to accept the resignation of the Peters Creek District representative, effective May 31, 2026, and approved a separate motion to review Dr. Will’s disclosure to his contract.
Chair (speaker 1) read a letter to the board asking that the resignation be accepted “effective 05/31/2026,” signed “Respectfully, Lester Hale.” Committee member (speaker 2) moved to accept the resignation; the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting Committee member (speaker 3) made a motion “to review Dr. Will’s disclosure to his contract for the maximum liable of 4 years starting 07/01/2026 through 06/03/2030.” The motion was seconded, discussed by board members and carried by the board.
Committee member (speaker 2) praised district staff and leaders during discussion, saying, “You’ve always praised our principals, teachers, and all staff at our schools” and thanked them for their work on behalf of students and families. The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote for these two items in the transcript; the chair announced both motions as carried.
The board did not announce a timeline or procedure in the transcript for filling the Peters Creek District vacancy. The motion to review Dr. Will’s disclosure directs the board to revisit the superintendent’s contract terms; the transcript does not specify next steps, a review date or whether the review will be public.
