Summary
At a special Randolph County Board of Education meeting, the board voted 4-0 to appoint Dr. Derek Lambert as superintendent for a two-year term; the board noted one member was absent and legal counsel will review other agenda items before the next meeting.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted 4-0 to appoint Dr. Derek Lambert as superintendent for a two-year term during a special meeting, a board member announced during the personnel portion of the agenda. A vote followed immediately and passed with one member absent.
The nomination was introduced during the personnel item when a board member said, "I would like to nominate Dr. Derek Lambert to be the superintendent of Randolph County Schools for a period of 2 years." The nomination was seconded and the board responded with a unanimous vote in favor among those present.
The vote concluded with applause and brief congratulations for Dr. Lambert; he responded, "Thanks." Board members noted that Rachel was excused from deliberations to attend her son's graduation. The transcript records the chair saying the motion "passes 4 to 0" and indicating Ed was not present that day.
The appointment was handled as a personnel action at the start of the meeting after the chair announced personnel business would be handled before presentations. The board did not record an on-the-record mover or seconder by name in the transcript; the motion and vote appear in the personnel segment of the meeting record.
No contract details, start date or salary were stated in the meeting transcript. The board moved on to presentations after the vote and indicated other agenda items would be reviewed by legal counsel in time for the next meeting.
The board indicated the matter of the Harmon school property and competing proposals will be sent to legal counsel for review and is expected to return to the board agenda at its June 2 meeting.
