Board approves three long-term student suspensions and personnel appointments
Summary
The Mathews County School Board approved three long-term student suspensions (Students 9–11) and ratified 2026–2027 personnel appointments and personnel actions discussed in closed session, all by voice vote during the May 19 meeting.
The Mathews County School Board voted on May 19 to approve three long-term suspensions (listed as Student Action numbers 9, 10 and 11) and to adopt the 2026–2027 personnel appointments and personnel actions that had been discussed in closed session.
Motions to approve each long-term suspension were made and seconded during the open meeting and passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies announced in open session. The board also moved to approve the 2026–2027 personnel appointments “as listed,” followed by a separate motion to approve personnel actions referenced from closed session; both motions carried by voice vote.
Board members participating in the votes included Bohannon-Stewart, Diggs, Morgan, Dr. Gibbs/Dr. Good and Hundley; the meeting recorded members answering 'Here' or 'Yes' during roll call earlier in the agenda. No additional deliberations or dissent were recorded on the motions during the public meeting.
The board adjourned the closed session and then completed the open meeting votes. There were no formal amendments announced on the floor and no individual vote tallies were published in the meeting transcript for these motions.
Next steps: Student disciplinary actions and personnel appointments are effective as approved; any confidentiality tied to personnel matters remains governed by closed-session records and applicable Virginia law.
