Cabell County board approves consent agenda, personnel transfers and two‑game suspension for basketball coach
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Cabell County Board of Education approved the consent agenda (with one item held), confirmed two administrative transfers, approved professional and service personnel items after executive session, and voted to suspend a girls basketball head coach for the first two varsity games of 2026–27.
The Cabell County Board of Education took several formal actions at its June 2 regular meeting, approving routine business and personnel items and issuing a limited disciplinary suspension.
The board approved the consent agenda with item 4.04 removed for later consideration. A motion to approve the rest of the consent agenda carried by voice vote; no members opposed on the record.
On personnel, the board approved administrative transfers under item 5216P: Kelly Daniel was confirmed as principal of Ona Elementary and Matthew Hicks was confirmed as assistant principal at Salt Rock Elementary. Both introduced family members and supporters at the meeting.
Following a closed executive session on personnel item P3704, the board approved the remainder of professional and service-personnel items on the agenda. The board also acted on employee discipline: Superintendent Hardesty recommended suspending James Cooper from girls basketball head-coaching duties for the first two varsity games of the 2026–27 season, and the board approved that recommendation.
Other special-board items approved included updates to the evaluation committee for the Ona Elementary construction-manager-at-risk procurement process; those adjustments had been moved from the consent agenda to special board items earlier in the meeting.
The board adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
Procedure and vote recording: The meeting transcript records voice votes and unanimous “I” responses for routine approvals but does not provide numbered tallies for each vote; motions were seconded and carried as noted in the public record.
